JUNGLE RETURNS WITH TWO NEW TRACKS “GOOD TIMES” AND “PROBLEMZ” ALONGSIDE SHORT FILM ON TOUR WORLDWIDE THROUGHOUT 2022 photo credit: Lydia Kitto “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…” May 31, 2022—British songwriting and production duo Jungle returns with two new tracks, “GOOD TIMES” and “PROBLEMZ,” following the release of last year’s acclaimed album Loving In Stereo. Recorded at Metropolis Studios in London, “GOOD TIMES” is a spirited soul anthem with disco-meets-hip-hop beats while “PROBLEMZ” drops the tempo but swelters just as intensely. Listen to/share the new songs HERE. In conjunction, Jungle is debuting an accompanying short film starring Amsterdam’s leading dance crew the Ghetto Funk Collective, alongside some familiar faces from previous music videos. Directed by JFC Worldwide (Charlie Placido and J. Lloyd), the short opens with a dance battle soundtracked by “GOOD TIMES,” leading into a mood change as the action shifts to Alberto’s Jazz Bar for “PROBLEMZ” where the dance moves are more laidback. Watch/share the short film HERE. Jungle has also confirmed an extensive run of worldwide tour dates, including performances at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Austin’s ACL Live, and Columbus’ Newport Music Hall as well as festival appearances at the Life is Beautiful Festival, Firefly Music Festival, and THING. The duo will also embark on a select run of European dates supporting Billie Eilish on her “Happier Than Ever” tour and multiple arena shows stateside supporting Gorillaz. 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, reached #10 on the UK Albums Chart. In 2021 the duo released Loving In Stereo—their highest-charting record to date—to widespread praise. Their three albums have amassed over 750,000 equivalent album sales and over 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.
