Kibi James is re-releasing their debut EP Azúcar via Citrus City at exactly the right time. The sweetly idyllic indie tracks are relaxing and cheerful during a summer where people are desperately searching for ways to shrug off the turmoil of the past year. Kibi James leans into both English and Spanish lyrics, refreshingly refusing the categorization that is often forced onto multicultural artists. The switch never feels jarring, and in fact forces the listener to abandon expectation and simply float in the gorgeous vocals and warm harmony. The track “Hi, How Are You” also comes with a brand new lyric video that is just as relaxed and natural as the rest of the EP.
The new re-release is available now! Listen to ‘Azúcar’ on Bandcamp
