Sunrise Bang Ur Head Against tha Wall, her first major-label release, is a more accessible refinement of her already fully formed aesthetic.

On her second solo EP in two years, the rising UK producer leans into her fusion of jungle breaks and irresistible melodies. Her emotional acuity reveals the makings of a uniquely talented pop writer.
Nia Archives has been one of the most interesting artists in the underground scene since I heard "Forbidden Feelingz" last year. She's doing jungle pop in such an interesting way and I'm really excited to see where she goes.
Oh my god. "So Tell Me..." is a contender for my favorite song of the year so far.

Been listening to this a lot these past few days. It’s so addictive and soothing. Makes me happy :)
Some decent drum and bass with some rap mixed in that makes for a pretty enjoyable experience.
Very unique, and it's done pretty well. But it's a bit short and not really my thing.
i wish there was a bit more variety in the drum beats bc the songs are really cool but they all sound a bit samey. did like it tho
I have next to no experience with jungle outwith maybe a track that I don't know playing in a club so I was left very surprised with how much I enjoyed this EP. The vocals are laced with that smooth, jazzy, r&b shine and the production is fun, bouncy, and of great quality. Even if you're not a jungle fan, like myself, I'd definitely say it's worth 17 minutes of your day.
