Electricity

Eno Williams and her crew combine the fruits of Nigeria and London with Hot Chip producing. What they make reminds me of prime 90s dance pop like Ultra Naté and D-Mob, and makes clear that dance music is always the most forward-facing edge of pop, since the inclusion of non-Anglophone elements from Nigeria just seems like something you’ve always been able to find in house and disco.
