Band members and producers J&T have buzzed with anticipation, eagerly sharing that their latest track dives into “the highs and lows of love and relationships” in a “poetic and authentic” way. Erick the Architect brings new energy to the track as he raps the lyrics with a combination of smoothness, speed, and charisma.
In addition to their new single / video “Candle Flame,” the band’s forthcoming album Volcano features a wide range of musical influences and collaborators, including Bas, Roots Manuva, Channel Tres, JNR Williams, and more.
The accompanying music video for “Candle Flame” adds an extra layer to the song’s message with its mesmerizing visuals and electrifying dance production. Dressed in all black against a stark white set, the dancers, choreographed by Shay Latukolan sizzle and pop in perfectly synchronized moves, bringing an extra dose of fun and excitement to an already infectious beat.
Jungle’s three albums have already amassed over a million equivalent album sales, and a billion streams worldwide – and their live shows are known to be an explosive, unforgettable experience. The duo is also set to embark on an extensive worldwide tour including a Los Angeles show at the Kia Forum on September 7, 2023, along with a set at HARD Summer at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Aug. 5-6, 2023.
