About TELL DEM IT'S SUNNY

“We move not backwards, only forward/From West Ham to Norwood,” says Greentea Peng, paying tribute to some of London’s most vibrant communities on “TARDIS (hardest).” And the South London-born purveyor of psychedelic soul is definitely moving things forward on the follow-up to her 2021 debut MAN MADE, taking in reggae, dub, and trip-hop for TELL DEM IT’S SUNNY. Her lyrics are uncompromising as she admits vulnerability, the need to heal, and the determination to keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter what the outside world throws at her. Meanwhile, the hazy beats offer the perfect backdrop for her confessions. “That’s how we solve business when shedding one’s skin,” she says, as she reflects on “Green.” But if this album’s anything to go by, growth and emotional reflection are on the menu. From the nostalgic honesty of “Raw” to the playful, party-ready anthem “Watcha Mean,” Peng nails a whole lot of emotion in the 14 tracks.
