Chasing Shadows LP Limited Edition Yellow Vinyl

Chasing Shadows, Nubiyan Twist's upcoming fifth studio album, is a rich and restless blend of jazz, afrobeat, hip hop and electronic textures, exploring the space between the organic and the digital. It’s music that moves, sweats, and breathes, made by real people in real rooms with heavyweight features bringing together varied voices from the music community which they inhabit.

Bandleader and producer Tom Excell explains: “We wanted to make something that felt joyous and defiantly human - something that couldn’t exist without that connection between people. You can get an AI to write a fugue in seconds, but it can’t capture the chemistry and chaos that happens when musicians lock in together. Chasing Shadows is our way of holding onto that.”

Chasing Shadows pushes the band’s sound further into new soulful territory under Excell’s expert guidance, featuring new lead vocalist Eniola - a recent graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London - and a glowing cast of icons and innovators.

Malian star Fatoumata Diawara lights up the title track on a powerful slice of Afrobeat, Joe Armon-Jones leads the dub workout ‘Rhythm Of You’, and the band take it back to their hip hop roots on great collabs with The Pharcyde’s Bootie Brown, Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London dancehall favourite, Mr Williamz.
