Nubiyan Twist return with Chasing Shadows, a vibrant fifth album that celebrates the pulse, warmth and spontaneity of human connection. Blending jazz, Afrobeat, hip‑hop and electronic textures, the UK collective deliver music that moves and breathes—crafted by real players locking in together under bandleader/producer Tom Excel. Featuring bright new vocalist Eniola alongside an inspiring cast of collaborators, the record reaches across continents and scenes: Malian star Fatoumata Diawara ignites the title track, Joe Armon‑Jones leads the dub‑tinged “Rhythm Of You,” and the band reconnects with its hip‑hop and dancehall roots with Booty Brown (The Pharcyde), Ghanaian MC M.anifest and London favourite Mr Williamz. The Zawose Queens also appear on the uplifting “Mlonje: Voices Joined.” Chasing Shadows pushes into rich, soulful territory while keeping the focus firmly on humanity and positivity.
