Ibeyi and Jorja Smith team up for new collab ‘Lavender & Roses’

Ibeyi have shared a video for their new Jorja Smith collaboration ‘Lavender & Roses’.

The track is the latest to come from their forthcoming album ‘Spell 31’, which is set to arrive on 6th May via XL.

The duo’s Lisa-Kaindé Díaz explains: “We knew we wanted to create something with Jorja that would be different from what we’ve done previously that would allow us to connect with the true meaning of the song. When we came across the three sisters of fate from the Greek mythology that personify fate we knew immediately that it would be the right idea. Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos are sisters, one of them creates the thread of fate, the other analyzes it and the third one cuts it.

“‘Lavender and Red Roses’ is a song about the feeling we all experience when we love someone troubled. It could be a partner, a sibling, a parent, a friend. We wanted to talk about the pain of witnessing a loved one hurting, repeating patterns and getting lost. And how it triggers in us the desire to reach them, hold them tight and wash their troubles away with lavender and red roses. But the truth is you can’t save them, if they pull you into their darkness, you will have to protect yourself, and allow them to find their own strength and light, their own way.”
