Ibibio Sound Machine has announced their new EP, The Black Notes, set for release on 4th September via Merge Records.

The EP features the title track “Black Notes,” which blends soulful dance rhythms with an electronic take on highlife. It also includes “Honey Bee,” and remixes of previous tracks “Pull The Rope” by Captain Planet and “Got To Be Who U Are” by Vanguard.

Led by London-born Nigerian singer Eno Williams, the band fuses the Ibibio language with West African funk, disco, and modern electronic sounds. Known for albums like Uyai (2017) and Doko Mien (2019), they are celebrated for their vibrant mix of funky basslines, synths, and West African influences.
