Nubiyan Twist will release new album ‘Find Your Flame’ on May 3rd.
The band are a fantastic live experience, blending all manner of styles – past and present – into a seamless whole. New album ‘Find Your Flame’ finds the nine-piece evolving once more, accepting fresh influences and working with some great musicians.
Sheffield-based vocalist Aziza Jaye comes to the forefront on the new record, while guests include afrobeat master Seun Kuti, the legendary Mamani Keita, as well as UK artists like corto.alto, Ria Moran, K.O.G. and NEONE the Wonderer.
Bandleader and producer Tom Excell says…
“As with the creation of all our albums, it’s a snapshot of our collective influences and journeys throughout the time it was made. A catharsis for our struggles, yet a vessel for our joy. Navigating through COVID, the magic of becoming a new parent, undergoing a vital leg amputation, recovering from car accidents, losing loved ones and forming new friendships have all shaped this music. But most importantly, the collaborative process helped reignite a liberating fire of resistance in each of us.”
Out on May 3rd via Strut Records, the record is led by exuberant new single ‘Lights Out’ – a soulful disco burner, guitar comes from the one and only Nile Rodgers.
The Chic icon helps lift Nubiyan Twist to a new level, sparking some stardust on their heady mixture – tune in below.
