    "Electricity" by Ibibio Sound Machine feels like an incredibly vibrant neon ray that burns your eyes in the best way possible.

    Incredibly beautiful electronic production with mystifying traditional African singing.

    Electricity thrills from start to finish, yet another well-crafted work from a band that continually shows itself to be unbound by categories of space, time, and genre. This is past, present, and future funk all rolled into one and ready for a fantastic time.

    Ibibio Sound Machine have always sought to get listeners onto the dancefloor. Electricity reveals that they won't have to coax. Here, they have taken their songcraft, production, and rhythm science to an entirely different level without sacrificing their Afrocentric roots.

    With its atmospheric melody and operatic harmonies, it’s a truly evocative listen.
