Nia Archives Emotional Junglist

One of the most exciting and influential voices in contemporary electronic music, Nia Archives returns with Emotional Junglist, an ambitious and deeply personal second album that pushes her unmistakable sound into bold new territory.

Written throughout 2025 during a period of intense personal change, the album explores the many dimensions of love and heartbreak — not just the euphoric highs, but the confusion, grief and aftermath that follow when relationships unravel. Across the record, Nia transforms these experiences into music that is both emotionally raw and irresistibly danceable.

Marking her biggest sonic leap to date, Emotional Junglist expands upon the alt-jungle sound that has made Nia one of the defining artists of the modern UK electronic scene. Working alongside acclaimed collaborators including James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Blur), Ethan P. Flynn (FKA twigs, David Byrne) and songwriter Julia Michaels (Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter), the album blends shimmering indie pop melodies and 1990s electronica with the breakbeats, basslines and restless energy of classic jungle music.

Featuring appearances from Jorja Smith and Sampha, the album balances introspection with euphoria, pairing vulnerable songwriting with the syncopated rhythms and rave-inspired production that have become Nia Archives' signature.

Few artists have done more to bring jungle music to a new generation of listeners. With Emotional Junglist, Nia Archives delivers her most expansive, personal and accomplished work to date.
