Greentea Peng - TELL DEM IT'S SUNNY (2025) (Hi-Res)

Peng blew the music world away with her 2019 state-of-grace performance in the Colors studio, and she has been busy ever since. Collaborations with the likes of Lee Perry and Nightmares On Wax, and a superb debut album, Man Made—with a piano tuned differently to industry standards—has proven that Peng is not here to become just another disposable consumer product. For her, music takes on a form of healing; during a very dark period she almost gave up singing, before rediscovering her voice on Mexico's local stages. And so her second LP offers an introspective journey, as it recounts a period of personal transition. On Tell Dem It's Sunny, Greentea Peng, still accompanied by her backing band The Seng Seng Family, has put her shoulder to the wheel more than ever before, even playing bass on several tracks. We hear soul, dub, hip-hop and electronic music, so much so that if someone were to tell us that this record had been produced in Bristol during the '90s, we’d think nothing of it, thrown off by the urban soul vibe of tracks like "TARDIS (hardest)," "Green," or "Raw." Ultimately, Greentea Peng proves that when you put your heart and soul into your music, it rings through enormously. © Smaël Bouaici
