Nia Archives unveils "Get Me Down" in collaboration with Jorja Smith - the latest single ahead of the album "Emotional Junglist", expected later this month. On paper, the jungle-soul collision makes sense; we await the album to judge.
DJ Mag reported this Friday: Nia Archives has just released « Get Me Down », a single in collaboration with Jorja Smith. It's the latest single before the album « Emotional Junglist », whose release is announced for later in July 2026. One of the most anticipated album cycles in contemporary jungle - at least on this side of the Channel.
On paper, it makes sense. Nia Archives has held a unique position for a few years: she makes jungle - real jungle, breakbeat, ragga, sub - but she sings over it. She's not a producer who features a voice, she's a singer who produces her own jungle. Jorja Smith, on the other hand, comes from another world - contemporary UK soul, with that patient timbre we've known her for since « Blue Lights ». Making these two voices work on a breakbeat is the bet that Nia Archives seems to have been making from the start: that jungle can carry real singing, without losing its punch.
« Get Me Down » therefore arrives at the end of the campaign: according to DJ Mag, the album is coming out in the coming weeks, and industry logic dictates that the next signal should now be the album itself, not another single. This is the moment when we stop commenting on the bricks and wait for the whole wall.
We keep the low position: we haven't listened to the single at the time of writing these lines, so no track-by-track review. On the announcement itself, the position is clear - solid, must listen absolutely as soon as it's available, and the album deserves to be followed closely. We'll come back to it once we've passed the monitoring.
