Ibibio Sound Machine on The Black Notes EP:

Moments of joy and feeling grateful for the sun on your face. “Black Notes” and “Honey Bee” are two sides of a coin—soulful dance and an electronic take on highlife for 2024. Captain Planet’s funky Afro house remix take on “Pull the Rope” and Vanguard’s acid-tinged version of “Got to Be Who U Are” round out the selection.

The Black Notes EP follows on the heels of 2024’s acclaimed Pull the Rope and follows that album in revealing even more facets of Ibibio Sound Machine’s perpetual groove.
