Nia Archives returns with Emotional Junglist, an album about love but not just the shimmering romantic parts. Written throughout 2025 a year that saw Nia fall in, and horrifically back out of, love each track will encompass something of the experience.Marking her biggest sonic leap to date, her altjungle sound honed alongside James Ford Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Ethan P. Flynn FKA Twigs, David Byrne and Julia Michaels Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, will see her flirt with everything from dewyeyed indie pop and nineties electronica, underscored by the syncopated beats and thudding basslines of her jungle roots with a tracklist that features Jorja Smith and Sampha.The motif for the album is a shell tough on the outside, but through pressure, maturation and resilience, something precious is built within. Nodding to the female form, the spiral chamber also symbolizes growth and selfdevelopment.
