On August 11, 2023, the musical landscape experienced a seismic shift with the release of Jungle's highly anticipated album "Volcano." This eclectic masterpiece is a departure from their previous works, showcasing a new sonic direction that both intrigues and captivates listeners. With tracks like "Candle Flame," "Dominos," "I've Been in Love," "Back on 47," "Holding On," and "PROBLEMZ," Jungle proves that they are not afraid to experiment and evolve while staying true to their distinctive sound.

Jungle, a British modern soul collective known for their funk-infused rhythms and soulful vocals, have consistently pushed the boundaries of their genre. With "Volcano," they elevate their artistry to new heights, drawing from an array of influences to create an album that is a departure from their previous offerings yet undeniably Jungle.

"Candle Flame" feat. Jungle and Erick the Architect

One of the most popular tracks on "Volcano" is "Candle Flame," a collaboration between Jungle and Erick the Architect. The song seamlessly fuses Jungle's signature funk and groove with Erick's experimental hip-hop production. The result is a track that ignites the senses, blending disparate elements into a harmonious whole.

"Dominos"

"Dominos" exemplifies the fresh direction taken on this album. The song's pulsating basslines and electronic nuances mark a departure from their earlier, more organic sound. Jungle dives headfirst into the realm of electronic dance music, crafting a track that is both infectious and danceable.

"I've Been in Love" feat. Jungle and Channel Tres

"I've Been in Love" sees Jungle team up with Channel Tres, another artist known for pushing genre boundaries. The collaboration delivers a hypnotic and groovy experience that merges soulful vocals with electronic production, creating a space where R&B and electronic music intertwine seamlessly.

"Back on 47"

"Back on 47" transports listeners with its dreamy and atmospheric quality. This ethereal track portrays and shows Jungle's ability to create sonic landscapes that are as immersive as they are evocative. The incorporation of synth textures takes the listener on an otherworldly journey.
