Nia Archives has announced her new album Emotional Junglist, set for release on 24th July.

To mark the announcement, Archives has shared a new track, “Boys In Blue”, a cathartic alt-jungle cut inspired by a sudden breakup. Written in the aftermath of the relationship ending, the song flips heartbreak into a pointed, triumphant anthem driven by her signature bass-heavy production and sharp lyricism. The accompanying video, directed by Iris Luz and shot across London at night, sees Archives sprint through streets and fields in a visual nod to classic alt-pop and rock imagery.

Written throughout 2025, Emotional Junglist explores love beyond its romantic highs, capturing both vulnerability and resilience. The record features production contributions from James Ford, Ethan P. Flynn and Julia Michaels, and includes guest appearances from Jorja Smith and Sampha.

Archives will bring the project to the stage next month with a run of sold-out intimate live dates in Leeds, London and New York.
