Dutch-Zimbabwean artist Rina Mushonga shares her second single “Jungles”, taken from her upcoming album, following first single “Ata|antA”.
Mixing the very different influences she has in her, the artist is capable of blending all of them effortlessly. In her second single “Jungles”, she reflects on a way to find her own space where she can connect and find the strength to face everyday life as Rina Mushonga explains it:
A lot of my songs reflect on searching for a sense of place. It’s something that’s often been elusive for me as I’ve moved around a lot growing up. But also really examining different facets of that — identity, representation, community, belonging, and conflict with one’s surroundings. I think what instantly made me fall in love with Peckham is its mixed-up-ness. This fresh blend of different cultures and scenes. It has a real transient energy and still maintains a palpable sense of community that I really connect with. I suppose ‘Jungles’ kind of reflects loosely though on the often frustrating process through disillusionment and unrequited love in search for self-acceptance and a place to lock into.

![Even if Caitlin Brown grew up in the “the UK’s sunniest town”, for what it’s worth, the musician and producer’s childhood was no picnic. As a young neuro-divergent and LGBTQ+ person, their coming of age was marked by isolation and boredom. Their music project, pinkpirate, was a way to overcome these feelings. Following a series of self-released tracks, including the successful “Nowhere” in 2021, Brown is now readying the release of their new EP, i don’t want to grow up boring, out in September via [PIAS] Recordings. After “Do You Want It All?”, they just unveiled a new track off the project, “Daisy”, which was also co-produced by Bullion. It comes with a Theo Batterham-directed video, shot in the LGBTQ+-friendly city of Brighton, with their partner.
“I started writing ‘Daisy’ when my girlfriend joked about me writing a song for her within the first few weeks of our relationship,” stated Brown about the track which depicts a positive queer romance. “I wanted to try and capture the innocence of a brand new relationship, especially within a WLW relationship that is often seen in a sexualised or demonised way.”
