Jsmina and Nabyla by Lucie RoxThe genre-crossing band SIRENS OF LESBOS returns with their most ambitious album yet: “i got a song, it’s gonna make us millions.” This fearless blend of soul, groove, and global influences showcases the band in a vibrant light. Fronted by sisters Jasmina and Nabyla Serag, the new album is affirming their status as one of modern music’s most exciting voices. It’s official: The sound of the week is here, and I absolutely love it! Dive deep into this sonic masterpiece; Sirens of Lesbos have truly cemented their status as a must-listen act in today’s musical landscape.
“This album is our most personal and complete work to date, and surprisingly, also our most humorous,” Jasmina explains. “Despite its stylistic diversity, it feels cohesive. Sure, we live in a singles era, but we hope listeners will enjoy the album from start to finish. It’s an album, not just a collection of tracks.”

The record features previously released singles including “Room 333” featuring Zacari—a futuristic R&B track with progressive club beats, the epic “Call Me Back” featuring SadBoi & Kabusa Oriental Choir, the dub-infused reggae track “Let It Hurt,” and the new song “My Moon,” which draws influences from Bruce Hornsby, Justin Vernon, and Jai Paul.
Sirens of Lesbos have already garnered praise from international media such as CLASH, COLORS, Dork, Tsugi, and Earmilk. BBC 1Xtra host CassKidd called the collective “magical,” while their music made it to No. 3 on Spotify’s influential POLLEN playlist—a testament to their rising influence.
With performances at iconic venues like the London Jazz Cafe, Amsterdam’s Paradiso, and Berlin’s Fusion Festival, this album marks a new musical chapter for Sirens of Lesbos. Refined by their live experiences, they’ve purposefully developed their sound: “We now know exactly the vibe we want to create at our shows and produce our music with that in mind.” As Black women in the diaspora, Jasmina and Nabyla navigate the intersection of their parents’ collectivist Northeast African culture and Western individualism. Identity has always been a central theme: “We have always been many things at once – and that’s okay.”
CoverAlongside their creative endeavors, both are deeply involved in the technical and philosophical exploration of sound: Jasmina recently completed her studies in Sound Arts, with Nabyla nearing completion. Their academic journey took them to art spaces showcasing abstract sound installations, but their primary focus is now clearly on Sirens of Lesbos—with new songs, a strong stage presence, and the goal of creating unforgettable live experiences.
Starting in May, Sirens of Lesbos will embark on their first European tour with their new repertoire, featuring performances at The Great Escape Festival as part of the prestigious First Fifty selection, and shows in London (Omeara), Bristol, Leeds, and Manchester.
