Horns at the ready: Nubiyan Twist have released an uplifting, Afrobeat-heavy new single in anticipation of their forthcoming third album Freedom Fables. 'If I Know' is the fourth single to be plucked from the record.

The Leeds/London collective invited Ghanaian vocalist K.O.G. to sing on this one. Previous releases also feature guest vocalists, with Ego Ella May appearing on lead single '24/7'.

"'If I Know' is all about needing to respect everybody and to let them do their thing," K.O.G. explains. "Whatever your feelings, you should not bring people down, you should always encourage them." 

On Freedom Fables as a whole, the band commented: "Each vocalist on this record explores their own memoirs, a freedom of expression underpinning our belief that music is the ultimate narrative for unity."

Freedom Fables Tracklist:

1. Morning Light (feat. Ria Moran)
2. Tittle Tattle (feat. Cherise)
3. Ma Wonka (feat. Pat Thomas) 
4. Buckle Up (feat. Soweto Kinch)
5. Keeper (feat. Cherise)
