Ibeyi have shared their debut album online to stream ahead of it’s release on Monday. The sister duo’s self-titled long-player will be released by XL Recordings on 16th February, with the stream available via The Guardian’s website.

‘Ibeyi ’ features the singles ‘River’, ‘Ghosts’, and ‘Mama Says’, and was produced alongside Richard Russel at La Revolution, London. The French-Cuban twins’ eponymous debut combines their “love of two very different worlds - the Yoruba chants of their ancestors and the electronic, hip hop and jazz influences of growing up in the city.”
