Ibeyi, the musical project of twins Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, has announced their return with a new album titled Offering, set to be released on June 26. This marks their first full-length album in four years, following 2022's Spell 31.
Independent Release
Unlike their previous three albums, which were released under the XL Recordings label, Offering will debut independently on the sisters’ own label, IBEYI Records. This new venture represents a significant step for the duo, offering them full creative control over their music.
Lead Single 'Aset'
Accompanying the album announcement is the release of the lead single, “Aset.” The song is available now along with a visually stunning video directed by Corry Van Rhijn and Roman Pichon Herrera. The video was shot in Havana, capturing the vibrant culture and spirit of the city.
Tracklist Details
The album Offering consists of 12 tracks:
- Olokun

With this new album, Ibeyi continues to explore themes of identity, spirituality, and empowerment, maintaining their signature blend of Afro-Cuban, French, and African influences.
