(May 15, 2026) - French-Cuban twin duo Ibeyi announce their new album Offering, set for release on June 26. The project marks their first full-length release in four years, following 2022’s Spell31, and their first since going independent. Alongside the announcement, they share the album’s lead single “Aset.”
“Aset” draws from the story of the goddess Isis—also known as Aset—who acquires sacred knowledge to resurrect her lover Osiris and elevate him to divine status. The song reflects on the emotional aftermath of that devotion, exploring themes of sacrifice, imbalance, and the lingering question of whether such profound love was ever truly reciprocated.
Offering introduces a new phase for Naomi Diaz and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz—one defined less by intention and more by release. Where Spell31 centered on manifestation, Offering moves in the opposite direction: letting go of control, expectation, and the need for validation. Across 12 tracks, the album unfolds as a process of shedding—of ego, of certainty—and a return to self.
Created independently, Offering finds Ibeyi expanding their creative process, working with a new range of producers and musicians while stepping back from their traditional roles on percussion and piano. The result is a fluid, genre-agnostic body of work that moves between heavy bass and percussive depth, and moments of quiet intimacy and vocal minimalism.
Though the sisters have spent recent years living apart, a series of parallel life experiences brought them back into alignment—personally and artistically. That dual perspective shapes the album’s core: for Naomi, Offering reflects a step into adulthood and self-assurance; for Lisa-Kaindé, it represents an embrace of the unknown and a trust in what follows.
The album also marks a visual and geographic return. All accompanying visuals were shot on location in Havana in collaboration with local artists, musicians, and their community—showing an intimate portrait of the Cuba that has long informed their identity and sound.
More than a decade into their career, Ibeyi are no longer seeking definition. Offering instead captures a moment of transition—grounded in vulnerability, growth, and the willingness to evolve.
Listen to “Aset,” pre-save Offering and stay tuned for more from Ibeyi coming soon. |
