Giungla charms with brash textures on icy new single "Cold"

Italian indie-rocker Giungla is sharing her barbed new track "Cold" ahead of her SXSW show next week.

The soloist - real name Ema Drei - delivers a full-force punch on new cut "Cold", which buzzes and throbs with palpable energy, oozing brash punk charm - Drei's scrappy concoction is a stunning slab of inverted pop that whips you into a restless fever and exiles lethargy. Drei's carved a rep for her viscerla live performances using just her voice, a guitar, and a drum machine - and she tightly packs that coiled spark into "Cold".

"I like to think of it as a simple pop song but flipped upside down so that the textures fill it with tenseness and anxiousness," says Drei. "I guess it’s pretty cynical lyrically, and I wanted to keep the music to have that feeling charged, yet simple and full."

Giungla is the latest signing to London-based collective Some Kinda Love (also home to Ten Fé and JW Ridley).

"Cold" is due out 11 March via Bad Life/Some Kinda Love.
