Most recently, they went viral with their hit song \u201cBack on 74\u201d on their 2023 record Volcano. They are back with a new record, Sunshine, which continues to shine with no skips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome Back To Me\u201d grooves its way into the record, opening with a percussive Latin and Afrobeat fusion that\u2019s a vibe as it unravels into infatuation love with a crush. The titular track \u201cSunshine\u201d has an electric opening of soul and disco production backed by Lydia Kitto\u2019s vocals, bringing positive vibes to the function and screaming \u2018random musical song\u2019 for whatever the mood may be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMove Like You Do\u201d stands out on the record as a short sample of an exercise tape which shifts gears into a full-on disco. Kitto\u2019s layered vocals go in perfect harmony with the disco production, making it the perfect song for a date night at a roller rink.<\/p>\n<p>Going from disco to hip-hop in \u201cRomeo II\u201d featuring rapper Bas. The easy-grooving track exudes swag and main character energy about missed connections and finding the one. Maintaining the main character energy is \u201cThe Wave.\u201d An energetic soul-driven track with motivational undertones backed by Kitto\u2019s vocals and a groovy soul-jazz production.<\/p>\n<p>Ending the record is \u201cHeavy On My Soul.\u201d The three-min acoustic-driven track takes a tonal shift from the band\u2019s usual groove to a grounded song about carrying the weight around oneself and turning it into an uplifting one.<\/p>\n<p>Jungle\u2019s Sunshine continues to amalgamate genres into a cacophony of vibes, artist creativity and collaboration, and tracks made for the dance floor. It\u2019s one of the best records to come out of this year, and it is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Artist\u00a0Links<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglejunglejungle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15159 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/website_flat_2016.jpg\" alt=\"website_flat_2016\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\"  \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jungle4eva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15146 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/facebook_flat_2016.jpg\" alt=\"facebook_flat_2016\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\"  \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jungle4eva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/twitter_flat_2016.jpg\" alt=\"twitter_flat_2016\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\"  \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jungle4eva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15148 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/instagram_flat_2016.jpg\" alt=\"instagram_flat_2016\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JUNGLESUNSHINEAWAL RECORDINGS British indie soul collective Jungle have been on a generational run, record after record, creating soul-jazz&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":737455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[112651,23031,243791,96,117709,128,76369,243792,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-737454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-album-review","tag-album-reviews","tag-awal-recordings","tag-entertainment","tag-jungle","tag-music","tag-sunshine","tag-the-wave","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/737455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
