Jungle

Jungle, the innovative modern soul music collective, was founded in 2013 by London-based producers Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland. Initially a faceless act, they aimed to create music driven by passion rather than personal fame. Their debut self-titled album, released in 2014, was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Prize, marking a significant milestone in their career. The album’s standout single, “Busy Earnin’,” garnered widespread acclaim and was featured in various media, solidifying their presence in the music industry.

Following their debut, Jungle continued to evolve, releasing their sophomore album, “For Ever,” in 2018. This album showcased their growth as artists, with tracks like “Heavy, California” and “Happy Man” receiving significant airplay and critical praise. Their unique blend of neo-soul, funk, and nu-disco resonated with audiences, leading to performances on major platforms such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the Glastonbury Festival.

In 2021, Jungle released “Loving in Stereo,” which further established their reputation for infectious grooves and vibrant soundscapes. The album featured the hit single “Keep Moving,” which was celebrated for its uplifting energy and innovative production. Their commitment to creating a dynamic live experience led to the expansion of their collective, incorporating a diverse group of talented musicians.

Most recently, Jungle unveiled their fourth studio album, “Volcano,” in August 2023, accompanied by a film of the same name. With each release, Jungle continues to push the boundaries of modern soul music, captivating audiences worldwide with their artistry and infectious rhythms.
