10 August 2026 - Nia Archives - Danger

Nia Archives released her new album Emotional Junglist last month..... and very quickly after its release was included on the 2026 Mercury Prize shortlist. I've listened to most of this shortlist, and let me tell you, they got the inclusion of this one RIGHT!  It is excellent. 

It didn't take long to realize this was a very special - and explicit - album. 

This song, co-written by the artist (whose real name is Dehaney Hunt, so if you go hunting on Spotify for the credits, you know I'm telling the truth), Ethan P. Flynn and Livvi Franc, is a fast-paced exciting song, as is the rest of the album. It does not give you a break - and yet still stays cool and mellow.
