Not every summer romance needs to end in marriage. 'Sunshine' knows exactly what it wants to provide and delivers it handsomely: good vibes and good grooves
On first listen, some fans may find themselves itching for the more upbeat, fast-paced celebratory anthems that were so prevalent on the previous album, but upon further listening, they’ll find a quieter, sweeter, yearning joy interlaced throughout the record
A summer smasher. Print edition only
Eleven concise tunes float by like a host of funky angels. It's a beach party for the soul. Print edition only
The London trio’s fifth album is pleasant enough to leave on, but rarely compelling enough to listen to
It’s business as usual for a band that are comfortingly dependable but due a shake-up
The trio return on an ‘all killer, no filler’ basis, blustery grooves and bass interacting with catchy choruses and just the right amount of edge
Jungle’s Sunshine is sincerely life-affirming, like being splashed with a bucketful of light during a time when darkness is much easier to come by
Continues to amalgamate genres into a cacophony of vibes, artist creativity and collaboration, and tracks made for the dance floor. It’s one of the best records to come out of this year, and it is highly recommended
Consistently enjoyable without ever feeling particularly surprising
Over a decade and still churning out albums like this. Jungle seem completely incapable of putting a foot wrong at this point
