Ibibio Sound Machine

Musical Group

London-based music collective fronted by vocalist Eno Williams, combining afrobeat, electronic, disco, funk and post-punk into dancefloor-focused, multilingual songs.

Electricity is described in the review as the group's fourth album and their third release on Merge Records; the album involved a contribution from Hot Chip. Eno Williams is London-born and of Nigerian descent; she sings in English and Ibibio.

The available review celebrates Electricity as an energetic, groove-forward record that blends afrobeat, electronics, disco and post-punk. Eno Williams's vocals and multilingual lyrics (English and Ibibio) are highlighted. The album's production (including a Hot Chip contribution) and its dancefloor sensibility are praised.

For:Listeners of afrobeat, electronic, disco, post-punk and global/dance music; fans of dancefloor-forward, rhythm-led bands.

 

I'll be honest, after listening to Electricity by the Ibibio Sound Machine, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Finally."
