Best New songIbeyi — Deathless (feat. Kamasi Washington)
Posted by LetsLoop on August 31, 2017, 2:59 pmCuban-French #twins Lisa-Kaindé & Naomi Diaz, aka @Ibeyi, have announced details to their much-anticipated 2nd album, Ash, and shared a new song from it called Deathless featuring jazz legend @Kamasi Washington.
Here's what Lisa-Kaindé had to say about the new single, which was written in response to her wrongful arrest by French police:
"I was writing Deathless as an anthem for everybody! For every minority. For everybody that feels that they are nothing, that feels small, that feels not cared about and I want them to listen to our song and for three minutes feel large, powerful, deathless. I have a huge amount of respect for people who fought for, what I think, are my rights today and if we all sing together “we are deathless,” they will be living through us into a better world."
Ash is out September 29th and will also feature the recently released Away Away.
If you're new to Ibeyi's unique mix of soul, electronic & hip-hop beats and want to explore more of their songs, we highly recommend Mama Says, River & Oya from their stunning self-titled debut album and their cover of @Jay Electronica's Better In Tune With The Infinite, Exhibit Diaz (here's the original: youtu.be/DbGk8xCxxoE if you're interested).
