Chasing Shadows
As the world sinks deeper into screens and algorithms blur the line between creation and imitation, Nubiyan Twist return with Chasing Shadows, a record that reclaims the pulse, warmth and spontaneity of human connection.
The bandâs 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. Itâs 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: âWe wanted to make something that felt joyous and defiantly human â something that couldnât exist without that connection between people. You can get an AI to write a fugue in seconds, but it canât capture the chemistry and chaos that happens when musicians lock in together. Chasing Shadows is our way of holding onto that.â
Folowing 2024âs acclaimed Find Your Flame, praised by Rolling Stone, Jazzwise, NPR and more, Chasing Shadows pushes the bandâs sound further into new soulful territory under Exce lâs 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 âRhythm Of Youâ and the band take it back to their hip hop roots on great colabs with The Pharcydeâs Booty Brown, Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London dancehal favourite, Mr Wi liamz.Â
On 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.
