Jayda G will release a new Ninja Tune EP in July.

Both Of Us / Are U Down is the first new music Jayda G, real name Jada Guy, has put out since her debut album, Significant Changes, in 2019. It arrives with a great deal of anticipation, as clips floating around online of “Both Of Us” led to an influx of messages requesting more information and pleading for an official release.

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” she says. “I really wondered if releasing the record right now was the right thing to do. Things can feel really fucking depressing at the moment, but the amount of messages I’ve been getting about the track, even during lockdown when people are unable to even be in clubs or at festivals, that really convinced me that now was the right time.”

“Both Of Us” is an upbeat throwback to the dancefloors of the past, drawing on Jayda’s love of classic, uplifting house. In contrast, “Are U Down” presents a slightly grittier and more sombre side to Jayda’s sound. Both tracks were made in collaboration with Fred again.., and the EP is completed by two remixes.
