Twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz, performing as Ibeyi, have announced a new album titled Offering and released the single “Aset.”
This release marks a significant transition for the duo as their first long-play record since becoming independent artists. The project ends a four-year gap [1] between studio albums, following the release of Spell 31 in 2022 [1].
The sisters recorded the new material together after a period of living apart [2]. While the specific recording locations were not disclosed, the collaboration serves as a reunion for the pair's creative process. The album Offering is slated for release in June 2024 [3].
Ibeyi has built a reputation for blending contemporary sounds with traditional influences. The arrival of “Aset” provides the first glimpse into the sonic direction of Offering, which follows the trajectory of their previous work while operating under a new independent business model.
The gap between Spell 31 and this new project reflects a period of professional restructuring for the duo. By moving away from traditional label structures, the sisters now maintain greater control over their output, and release schedule [2].
Listeners can now access “Aset” across major streaming platforms as the duo prepares for the full album launch next month [3].
“Ibeyi have announced a new album titled Offering and released the single “Aset.””
The shift to an independent model allows Ibeyi to bypass the traditional industry gatekeeping that often dictates the timing and creative direction of album cycles. By releasing Offering after a four-year hiatus, the duo is positioning themselves to reclaim their narrative and artistic autonomy in a changing music economy.
