Offering

Description

They have shared the stage with Beyoncé, collaborated with Orelsan, and were invited to sing by Karl Lagerfeld for a Chanel fashion show: the Ibeyi sisters unveil their new clip and single “ASET.” A perfect way to enjoy music while waiting for Offering, an album to be discovered on September 18. Since “River,” Ibeyi's first hit in 2014, the sisters have seen their career take off. Their second album, Ash, was nominated for the IMPALA European Album of the Year award in 2017. With appearances in Beyoncé's “All Night” video, an invitation from Karl Lagerfeld to sing in Cuba during a Chanel show, performances at Coachella, and a collaboration with Orelsan on “Note pour trop tard,” Ibeyi is carving out a place for themselves in the music industry. Unclassifiable, the duo is back with “ASET,” a track where soul, contemporary RnB, Afro-Cuban, jazz, and many other musical influences intertwine. “ASET” is a modern lament where the melody intensifies with each passing second, blending sensuality, urgency, and spirituality. Ibeyi invokes Isis, also known as Aset. A symbol of sacred knowledge, the Egyptian goddess represents resurrection and absolute love. In mythology, Aset steals the knowledge of the gods to resurrect her lover Osiris, turning him into a god. But in a more modern reflection, the song gives voice to Aset. After years of devotion, a melodious cry resonates, between pain and power: "Without my light, you're nobody, without my love, who loves you?" What love has she received in return? And while this song delves into intimate reflections, their new album Offering is just as personal. Co-produced by Michael Brun, Khalil Cherradi, Pablo Pablo, Jason Pounds, and Jack Peñate, the Ibeyi sisters dive into their history for a deeply personal project. Introspective, the album Offering explores the courage to confront oneself, to embrace our emotions without filters. After anger, pain, sadness, and fear come acceptance, gratitude, and ultimately, eternal love. The tracks have traveled as much as their minds: Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles, Offering reflects a period of transformation for the two sisters. Between adversity, reconstruction, and a return to the essentials. A journey and emotions shared by the entire world that make Offering a personally universal narrative. (https://www.s-quive.com/)
