“…an exuberant, nostalgic mash of falsetto funk harmonies,
disco grooves and eccentric electropop textures.”
“… cinematic blend of synths and strings that swim effortlessly beneath Jungle’s euphoric group vocals…”
July 6, 2021—“
Romeo,” the latest track from British songwriting and production duo
Jungle, debuts today accompanied by an official music video; listen to/share the song
HERE and watch/share the video
HERE. This old school hip-hop track features vocal contributions from New York rapper and
Dreamville artist
Bas, marking the duo’s first feature collaboration. “Romeo” appears on the duo’s highly anticipated new album,
Loving In Stereo, which is set for release
August 13 via
AWAL.
“We’d never had a featured artist on a record before but Bas is part of the journey of this album and so it just had to make the cut,” notes Jungle co-founder Josh Lloyd-Watson.
Bas furthers, “I’ve always been on a mission to work with artists who’s sounds, and worlds inspire me beyond rap’s sonic landscape. Jungle has been high on that list since a recommendation from a friend when I was in London bout 7 years ago. I was and still am completely blown away by their music. Fast forward to the Greatest Day Ever Festival a few years back, our dressing rooms were down the hall from each other, and I was BIG LIT off tequila so the voice in my head was like ‘GO IN THERE N TELL THEM HOW DOPE THEY ARE.’ I burst in there like the Kool Aid man and did just that. We linked back up in London and now we got a tune. I guess the moral of the story is listen to the tequila voice in your head?”
Jungle directed the video for “Romeo” alongside longtime collaborator and creative partner Charlie Di Placido, the second entry in a larger project to create a visual identity for every track on the album. “The video is high energy and was one of the last we shot during the week of filming. You can see that the dancers are at their limit and that gives an incredible atmosphere to the performances,” furthers the other half of Jungle, Tom McFarland.
Jungle’s previously released singles “
Keep Moving” and “
Talk About It” continue to receive praise;
Billboard proclaims “‘Keep Moving’ is a funky, feel-good disco-soul sermon with its almost gospel-choir-like chorus and stirring strings,” while
FLOOD Magazine declares “‘Keep Moving’ is the album’s first single and it’s a groovy, disco-influenced remedy for gloomy days.”
URPOXX furthers, “British duo Jungle continues to preview their liberating third studio album
Loving In Stereo with the funk-forward track ‘Talk About It.’ The song continues their signature dance-ready sound, infusing a cascade of percussion with luminous production.”
As Loving In Stereo is an album that embodies what’s sure to be a summer of social liberation, it’s fitting that Jungle are experiencing something similar. Lifelong friends J&T are embracing the new-found freedom of launching their own label for the first time, a decision that has initiated a creative rebirth. They’ve ditched the external influences, put commercial considerations on the backburner and avoided second-guessing what people expect from them. Instead, they’ve taken their music back to their roots, to a time when they could make whatever music they liked without overthinking it. The album’s themes exude positivity: new beginnings, new love and fighting back against the odds. “When we write music there’s hope,” adds Lloyd-Watson. “Maybe today we’ll create something that influences people and changes the way they feel. If you can make something that lifts people, that’s an amazing feeling.”
Loving In Stereo was recorded at J&T’s own studio as well as The Church Studios. The album features songwriting contributions from Inflo—a Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award winner for his work with Michael Kiwanuka and Little Simz—as well as vocal contributions from rising star Priya Ragu.
In support of the forthcoming album, Jungle has confirmed an extensive run of worldwide tour dates. Adding to their already vibrant live shows, the duo will create the feeling of stepping into a Jungle video shoot by amplifying the focus on their choreography and visual aesthetics. The run of North American dates kicks off in Boston on October 3 and includes shows at DC’s Anthem, Chicago’s The Riviera Theatre and Philadelphia’s The Fillmore as well as multiple performances at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner. See below for the full tour routing.
Jungle was founded by J&T, who met at the age of 10 in West London’s Shepherd’s Bush. They began making music together at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put the aesthetic emphasis on the music’s surrounding artwork/videos rather than on their own identities.
Jungle’s 2014 self-titled debut album was a Mercury Prize nominee and is now Gold-certified, while their 2018 follow-up, For Ever, peaked at #10 on the UK Albums Chart. Their two records have since amassed over 750,000 equivalent album sales and nearly a billion streams worldwide. They’ve performed on five continents, headlining venues both stateside and abroad while performing at major music festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Jungle has appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Ellen.”
