Feb 23, 2015WOW -- I honestly didn't expect to like this as much as I did.
A perfect fusion of languages, and genre styles makes for an epic performance.
The only fault I found upon listening to this debut album was that upon completion, I only wanted more. -
Oct 29, 2015This album is so much fun. I love how they play with sound, wheather that be cultural sound or playing with genres to create the sound of Ibeyi. So different, so strange, so great.

Mar 1, 2015If Asa’s music made love to Nneka's music and had a dark baby, this album is what you get, the Ibeyi album by Ibeyi is a good debut effort
4.2/ 5 Wraps. Check out sybt.tv for more reviews

Mar 23, 2015With such masterful creativity and an ability to connect with listeners emotionally, no matter what language they are singing in, Ibeyi may have already released the debut album of the year.

Mar 2, 2015Ibeyi is an uneven but sturdily promising debut.

UncutFeb 27, 2015The brilliant "Oya" places the sisters' voices front and centre, swinging from Bjork-like vocal gymnastics into a Yoruban spiritual. Elsewhere, Russell winds the pair's cajon and Bata beats into wonky boom-clap rhythms that smartly complement the romantic "ghosts" or "Think Of You." [Apr 2015, p.77]
