Ibeyi are back with more new music: Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz’s new song is called “Made of Gold,” and it features Pa Salieu. The single arrives with a new music video directed by Daniel Sannwald, and, in the song’s announcement, the sisters revealed that they’re at work on a new album that’s due for a 2022 release. Watch the new video below. Lisa-Kaindé discussed the new song in a statement:
The first song we produced in the studio was “Made of Gold.” Whilst we were creating the layers of the backing vocals, we could feel that we were making contact with our ancestors; that what we were recording was calling on the brujas and our ancestors for their ancient knowledge. “Made of Gold” is about connecting to our ancestors’ knowledge, to the truths of the past and the power of the ancient. The line is not broken, nor is it lost. Protected by these spells, our third album will see us conveying our reconnection to that power and channeling that magic into our new music.
Ibeyi last released Ash in 2017. Read about the LP in Pitchfork’s list of “The 50 Best Albums of 2017.”
