Jungle
Loving in stereo

It had been several years since my last review, partly due to laziness, partly because I couldn't find the necessary inspiration. The magic happened last night: I was cutting onions to prepare an excellent friggione while listening to the aforementioned album. It wasn't the first time since Jungle has perhaps been the most beautiful discovery of recent years, at least for me. They already boast four albums to their name, and their self-titled debut is undoubtedly the most famous, with tracks that immediately made headlines ("Busy Earnin" and "The Heat" above all). Well, last night Loving in Stereo flowed like fresh water on a sultry day. When I realized that the playback had switched to the album's radio, I couldn't believe that a good forty minutes had passed. What better occasion to return to the scene? I open DeBaser and realize that the artist doesn't even exist. The perfect crime.

Loving in Stereo is the coming-of-age album of Jungle, the third in chronological order. It talks about new beginnings, new loves, and the importance of fighting when everything seems to be against you. A beautiful twist of fate considering that I have just started a new life and a new job far from Italy. In this sense, "Keep Moving" is the synopsis. It's the first album by the London collective where we find tracks created in collaboration with other artists (the American rapper Bas in "Romeo" and the Swiss singer-songwriter Priya Ragu in "Goodbye My Love") confirming the quality of their past work and a career that has reached a turning point. A tour longer than a year will follow, seeing them set stages worldwide on fire. In the meantime, they continue to compose and in August of this year, they give birth to their fourth album Volcano, certifying a moment of rare creative grace.

I could mention other tracks from Loving in Stereo, delve into awkward comparisons, in short, do the usual cold, calculated review. Instead, I decided to write impulsively, hoping that my words can spark a change, a new love, fuel the will to fight every day for what you believe in. Or simply, make someone want to listen to these six musicians who together have created something unique that the world desperately needed.
