The Diaz sisters build something stranger and grander on their fourth LP. Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, the twin sisters in Ibeyi, have long used their shared instincts to write vulnerable, experimental and probing pop songs. On their 2026 album, Offering, the French Cuban siblings build something stranger, grander and more electrifying than anything they’ve done before. The album art for their fourth release is almost an inverse to the photo that accompanied their 2015 self-titled debut, and this dichotomy seems to spotlight both the similarities and differences in their sound over the course of the decade-plus in which these releases live. What’s abundantly clear on Offering is that the Diaz sisters are delightfully restless, looking in every direction to build their inimitable style. “Moshpit” is a post-industrial R&B jam, landing somewhere between the work of Grimes and Mariah Carey. “Offerings” features the sisters promising that they “don’t make spells anymore”, instead cooking up “offerings”. Above glimmering keyboards and baroque string melodies, they acknowledge being scared of change, an admission surely unrelated to their musical process after listening to the evolution that occurs throughout Offering.
