Nia Archives – Emotional Junglist

Nia Archives returns with 'Emotional Junglist', an album about love - but not just the glittering romantic side. Written over the course of 2025 - a year in which Nia fell in and out of love in a terrible way - each track will reflect something of that experience.

Her biggest musical leap yet: her alt-jungle sound, co-written with James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Blur) Ethan P. Flynn (FKA Twigs, David Byrne) and Julia Michaels (Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter), lets her flirt with everything from innocent indie pop to nineties electronica, underpinned by the syncopated beats and booming basslines of her jungle roots - with a track list that includes Jorja Smith and Sampha.

The album's motif is a shell - hard on the outside, but through pressure, maturation and resilience, something precious emerges on the inside. In reference to the female form, the spiral-shaped chamber also symbolizes growth and self-development.
