Lifted from their forthcoming album ‘Spell 31’.

27th April 2022

Ahead of the release of their third studio album ‘Spell 31’ on 6th May via XL Recordings, Ibeyi are sharing their latest single ‘Rise Above’ featuring BERWYN.

“We read the lyrics and we immediately felt their relevance to how we felt about the world in its current state,” Lisa-Kaindé Díaz says. “We got to work on the melody and had the full song done in 5 minutes. Jorja Smith heard the track and told us we had to get BERWYN on the song. We had him by the studio to listen to the full album. I left to make tea, upon returning to the studio BERWYN had already written his verse for ‘Rise Above,’ before he had even finished listening to the album. We knew we had something special, what a gift!”
