Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 8 - February 2020 /// Ibeyi - Ash

[Skalap]

Their mother? Says featuring Meshell Ndegeocello, who funny enough I was thinking of guessing if I could get to fit since she is listed as Neo Soul and Trip Hop as well.

Maybe the Gainsbourg clue is just that they are a duo?

She doesn't sing, she reads.

 

[Joe Mac]

So some sleuthing! The clue could still refer to Kate Bush. One of those two albums that the choir appeared on is The Sensual World. That contains this Woman’s Work which was covered by Maxwell.

When I’ve been googling alt r&b and neo soul three names have been repeatedly coming up. D’Angelo, Erykah Badu and...

...Maxwell!

Too tenuous a link or am I onto something?

that would appear to be a no then! @bfly clearly appears to have it tied up!

@gaporter it looks like you have work to do

Says Ibeyi are inspired by the Nigerian cultural Yoruba tradition.

They also sing in Yoruba, as well as English, French, and Spanish.

 

[dhodo]

Yup, great work @bfly.

 

[Skalap]

aaaaaand Dodax'd!

 

[bfly]

if it is Ash, I am both excited and thankful- I need an excuse to grab this album cause I love them, and @ChristoBee smashing it outta the park with one of my fave styles of music from some badass women. either way, grateful for all the music sharing from Christo so far and all to come.

I would be super psyched about Ibeyi. I have always enjoyed what I hear of them. But never really dove fully into them.

@bfly is magical. Whether or not Ibeyi is the pick. bfly is magical.

 

[dhodo]

@duke86fan might not be happy about the decade!

 

[ChristoBee]

I'll be convinced this is the right pick when I'll see all the dots connected. Until then, I'll keep searching !

I know, I totally get it, variety is great to encourage. Just joking since I've seen you point that out a few times.

I'm impressed with the variety we have gotten just within the 2010s decade.

@gaporter it looks like you have work to do
