Revered singer/songwriter Greentea Peng today releases her new mixtape ‘GREENZONE 108’, a lush ten-track collection of soothing balms for the soul, centring on spirituality and identity in a way that only Greentea Peng could.

This verdant collection of tracks boasts a wealth of heavyweight production and collaboration credits, ranging from Nat Powers (Janet Jackson, Ms Dynamite), Grammy award nominated Jon Mills, MJ Cole and Swindle, and St Francis Hotel, frequent collaborator of Danger Mouse, Inflo and Micheal Kiwanuka.

The flourishing new mixtape release follows previous singles, “Your Mind”, an eclectic menagerie of live instrumentation and swirling vocals. The track was released in partnership with the YoungMinds organisation with profits donated to the youth mental health organisation. This first taste of new music was followed by the MJ Cole & Swindle produced “Stuck In The Middle”, which skilfully channels luminous R&B lyricism atop minimalistic boom-bap beats and delicate piano tones. Recent single “Look To Him” is meditative and reassuring, a calming siren-song that explores the importance of restoring inner creativity.

The “GREENZONE 108” project namesake was derived from Greentea’s ticket to the latest Gypsy King fight; seated in the ‘Green’ area, she felt “fully in the zone” as Greentea Peng during this period of exponential creativity. She would eventually decide upon the number ‘108’ for its properties as a “holy number representing spiritual completion”. “GREENZONE 108” is a harmonious combination of spirituality and music that Greentea Peng is widely celebrated and cherished for, a welcomed addition to her ever-growing discography.
