Back in August, Paris-based duo Ibeyi told us that it was a live video of “Mama Says” that caught the attention of XL Recordings. Today, the 19-year-old French-Cuban twins announce their self-titled debut album, to be released on XL on February 17. The album was produced by XL founder Richard Russell. With the announcement, they release an Ed Morris-directed video for the song that sparked it all.
