Nubiyan Twist - Chasing Shadows
As the world sinks deeper into screens and algorithms blur the line between creation and imitation, Nubiyan Twist return withĀ Chasing Shadows, a record that reclaims the pulse, warmth and spontaneity of human connection.
The bandās fifth studio album is a rich and restless blend of jazz, afrobeat, hip hop and electronic textures, exploring the space between the organic and the digital. Itās music that moves, sweats, and breathes, made by real people in real rooms with heavyweight features bringing together varied voices from the music community which they inhabit.
Bandleader and producer Tom Excel explains: āWe wanted to make something that felt joyous and defiantly human ā something that couldnāt exist without that connection between people. You can get an AI to write a fugue in seconds, but it canāt capture the chemistry and chaos that happens when musicians lock in together.Ā Chasing ShadowsĀ is our way of holding onto that.ā
Folowing 2024ās acclaimedĀ Find Your Flame, praised by Rolling Stone, Jazzwise, NPR and more,Ā Chasing ShadowsĀ pushes the bandās sound further into new soulful territory under Exce lās expert guidance, featuring bright new vocalist Eniola and a glowing cast of icons and innovators. Malian star Fatoumata Diawara lights up the title track on a powerful slice of Afrobeat, Joe Armon Jones leads the dub workout āRhythm Of Youā and the band take it back to their hip hop roots on great colabs with The Pharcydeās Booty Brown, Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London dancehal favourite, Mr Wi liamz.Ā
OnĀ Chasing Shadows, Nubiyan Twist continue to look outwards with their music but keep the focus firmly on humanity and positivity. It is an album which crosses continents and which shamelessly celebrates our co lective strength.
