Nubiyan Twist Release Their New Single 'Breeze' from Upcoming Deluxe Album 'Find Your Flame'

Following their 2024 AIM Awards nomination for Best Independent Album for Find Your Flame, UK Jazz act, Nubiyan Twist returns with a brand new track, ‘Breeze’, the first taster from a forthcoming deluxe version of the album out 16th October via Strut Records.

‘Breeze’ finds Nubiyan Twist at their uptempo best, effortlessly fusing soulful UK sound system styles from broken beat and garage to new generation jazz, released alongside a full-length music video showcasing the group’s infectious energy on their 2024 tour.

Featuring vocal interplay between Nick Richards’ velvet-smooth tones and Aziza Jaye’s patois-hype, the track mixes infectious grooves with honest lyrics as the band tackles the search for personal freedom and growth, acknowledging the uncertainties of life and the openness we need to navigate its unpredictable course. The track finds its peace, stretching out into a gorgeously mellow freeform dub outro.

Paired with a video from director Chris Mayall, the track acts as a celebration of Nubiyan Twist’s energetic live shows.

Much like the full Nubiyan Twist live show, Breeze moves through various moods. The clips included (in the music video) are all from their 2024 Find Your Flame Tour and strike a balance between professional videography and the lo-fi spontaneity of footage captured on phones. Some behind-the-scenes footage of the band allowed the video to pay homage to the musical personalities who make this happen.”
