“Both dark and light, half soul-searcher, half wise-cracking; Greentea Peng takes you on thought provoking journey with honest lyricism and broken flows, through sunshine riddims and heavy sounds”. An extract from the Spotify bio of East London soulstress Greentea Peng summarizes her artistry perfectly as she begins the next chapter of her career. This morning saw the announcement of the 26-year olds debut album titled ‘Man Made’.
Comprising of eighteen tracks and two sides, Greentea herself describes the project as “An extremely personal experience, a gift of ULTRA, natural vibration for the collective (not the culture) …A journey from start to finish”. Slated for a June 4th release, the album is available to pre-order as of today, with numerous bundles available to suit each listeners needs. Physicals included are a marbled vinyl, standard black LP, CD and cassette, with each item having signed version available for purchase also. Other products in the merch line include the likes of long and short sleeve t-shirts, flavoured incenses and all-natural rolling papers “for all your GREEN TEA sticky needs”.
The second single for Man Made also saw its arrival on streaming services today. The thought provoking ‘Kali V2’, produced by Earbuds, is the ninth track on the album and is accompanied by trippy visuals to fit the psychedelic sound she has carved her own lane in. The political undertones of the track are accompanied by the hashtag ‘#FACTCHECKTHEFACTCHECKERS’, a statement that can also be found on merch of hers on the store.
This highly anticipated LP comes after a string of two extended plays that garnered Greentea much attention for her drug infused soulful nature, propelling her to the forefront of the UK scene. Stream the new single Kali V2 on Spotify below.
