Last month, Nia Archives dropped her critically-acclaimed album ‘Emotional Junglist’, which was given a four-and-a-half star review from NME.
“From the start, Nia’s artistry has fought for people to embrace their own multifaceted selves,” it read. “Fans may be perplexed to hear the lack of conventional jungle on this record, but Nia has never claimed to be a traditionalist.
“If anything, she’s revived the genre thanks to her willingness to take jungle to new heights. On ‘Emotional Junglist’, Nia knows the thrill of her music isn’t just within the sound – it’s within her soul.”
Before then, Nia Archives spoke to NME about the resurgence of jungle in recent years, and revealed that she is working on a “happier” new album. While on the red carpet for the 2025 BRIT Awards, she discussed how drum n’ bass and jungle have seen a massive increase in popularity over the past three years.
“Jungle and drum n’ bass always existed in the underground and historically always had crossover tunes, so it’s really cool to see younger people getting into the music,” she said. “I think having those crossover tunes has been bringing people into this [world of] underground music.”
At the BRITs 2025, Nia was nominated for Best Dance Act alongside Becky Hill, Chase & Status and Fred Again.., although the award went to Charli XCX.
