\nThe South London-born Greentea Peng is an artist whose work is guided by self-inquiry, shaped by the dualities she inhabits: pain and pleasure, engagement and withdrawal, expression and stillness. Her emotional literacy is transformed into a blend of neo-soul, dub and jazz, all draped in psychedelic textures.<\/p>\n
After rediscovering her love for music while travelling \u2013 where she joined a local band in Mexico \u2013 a renewed sense of self-confidence propelled her return to London and the release of her 2018 EP, SENSI. The project marked the beginning of a distinctive sound carved from heavy, weighty narration, dubby grain, hissy textures and sparse arrangements. The six-track release is anchored by negative space that sits tightly side-chained to the kick, creating a breathing, pumping feel, while minimal melodic movements allow tension to build and swell around her earthy, soulful voice.<\/p>\n
This early foundation continued to evolve, punctuated by notable moments such as her performance of \u2018Downers<\/a>\u2019 on COLORS, which garnered millions of views, as well as her television debut on Later\u2026 with Jools Holland on the BBC, where she performed her breakout track \u2018Hu Man<\/a>\u2019. These milestones paved the way for her 2021 debut album, MAN MADE, which she described as a record designed to resonate \u201cmore in your heart space, and less in your headspace\u201d.<\/p>\n Her latest offering, TELL DEM IT\u2019S SUNNY, dives deeper into her enduring practice of self-witnessing \u2013 a work of affirmation, emotional maturity and radical self-acceptance. From \u2018BALI SKIT PT. 1\u2019<\/a>, a soundscape that rises and falls like the ribcage of a shadowy spirit, to \u2018RAW<\/a>\u2019, where we\u2019re once again met with Peng\u2019s poignant voice notes, the album showcases an artist continuing to explore her inner world with clarity and conviction.<\/p>\n Now, following her acclaimed 2024 appearances at Splore Festival in T\u0101papakanga Regional Park and Electric Avenue Festival in Christchurch, Greentea Peng returns for her first-ever headline shows in Auckland and Wellington. A landmark moment for fans who have waited to experience her immersive, genre-defying live performance in a headline setting, these shows offer a rare opportunity to witness one of the UK\u2019s most captivating contemporary artists at the peak of her powers.<\/p>\n Auckland Wellington \nContent Sourced from scoop.co.nz<\/a>
