Ibibio Sound Machine announce new album with lead single "Tell Me (Doko Mien)"
The genre-bending group Ibibio Sound Machine have announced their third record Doko Mien, as well as sharing the title-track "Tell Me (Doko Mien)".
The London-based group are following up their 2017 sophomore effort Uyai with third album Doko Mien. Doko Mien is Ibibio for "Tell Me", which ties in with the lead single to announce their new record.
Vocalist and frontwoman Eno Williams explains, "Music is a universal language, but spoken language can help you think about what makes you emotional, what makes you feel certain feelings, what you want to see in the world."
Williams uses a mix of both English and Ibibio, which is a Nigerian language the band is named after.
"Tell Me (Doko Mien)" is the second single to be shared from their forthcoming LP, after November's "Basquiat".
