Today, Nubiyan Twist released their 4th single, 'Carry Me' featuring Seun Kuti, from their upcoming album Find Your Flame.

The collaboration emerged from a chance encounter at Glastonbury Festival in 2022, where Nubiyan Twist bandleader Tom Excell was blown away by Kuti's magnetic stage presence. Originally crafted as a live-only piece, ‘Carry Me’ took on new dimensions with Seun's involvement, resulting in a full-blooded summer anthem that underscores Nubiyan Twist's affinity for Afrobeat, a defining element across their discography to date.

The narrative of the song unfolds from the perspective of a child coming to grips with their parents' hardships, paying homage to the resilience of all mothers and parental figures struggling in the shadows.

Bandleader Tom Excell explains, “'Carry Me' celebrates the silent sacrifices made by parents navigating economic challenges and nuclear families in the absence of robust local communities. It's also a dedication to my partner and to her enduring strength”.
