Psyché are back with "Sabir," the first single to land ahead of their second album, which is due for release in 2026. The track remains faithful to the sound of the band's debut record while significantly expanding its sonic horizons and geographical influences.
"Sabir" is a bold reinterpretation of the Neapolitan dialect, positioning it as a contemporary lingua franca for the Mediterranean. This is a direct nod to the historical Sabir, the ancient contact language once used in Mediterranean ports and trade hubs, which combined elements of Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Greek, Turkish, and French. In the same vein, the track acts as a meeting point for different cultures and 'foreign' sounds.
The result is a fascinating blend of Afrobeat, Anatolian Funk, and Mediterranean groove, all enriched by pop psychedelia and cosmic synthesizers. This is music that sits at the vibrant crossroads between the cultures of peoples who share the same sea, featuring sounds that both embody their diverse identities and tell the story of their infinite exchanges— connections that run far deeper than their individual differences.
