Nia Archives has laid out plans for her sophomore album.
The British DJ, producer, singer and songwriter will release 'Emotional Junglist' through Island Records on July 24, following her 2024 Mercury Prize-nominated debut LP 'Silence Is Loud'.
Created alongside producers James Ford (Arctic Monkeys and Blur), Ethan P. Flynn (FKA Twigs and David Byrne) and Julia Michaels (Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter), the album will include Nia's March single Danger, as well as the newly shared Boys In Blue, an empowering pop-leaning track written in the aftermath of an unexpected breakup. Head below for the video directed by Iris Luz.
The album's tracklist also features collaborations with Jorja Smith on Get Me Down and Sampha on Tender.
Nia Archives will kick off a run of spring dates with a performance at Hackney Church in London on Friday (May 8), before a US run later in the month that includes a set at Lightning In a Bottle in Bakersfield, California.
In the summer, she'll play several festivals in Canada, Europe and the UK, including Parklife in Manchester, Boardmasters in Newquay and All Points East in London supporting Jorja Smith and Tems. Tickets are on sale now.
