# Mojo Juju Releases New Album ‘Native Tongue’

Melbourne’s Mojo Juju (Mojo Ruiz de Luzuriaga), returns in the form of a new single which also acts as the title track for her third studio album *NATIVE TONGUE.*

The track boasts a beat courtesy of Joelistics and vocals from Pasefika Vitoria Choir while **Juju** takes a hand over either side of her chest and turns herself completely inside out, laying her innermost workings bare for all to see. It is a song is both personal and painful, yet simultaneously empowering and anthemic.

The video features members of the Indigenous dance troop **[Djuki Mala](https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecretservicepr.us4.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Dd58d85ed6ba164643a4766ae1%26id%3D13b0cdc0d9%26e%3Df096e5de99&data=02%7C01%7C%7C514fe857f450400eb23d08d5e2cb388c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636664284809813818&sdata=q14O1ajxxpeTn6Zzspdm1OfoM0p%2BvwxnnEeTLULE8PI%3D&reserved=0)**and through the telling of family history and her own personal experiences, Juju explores her relationships with Elders and Ancestry.

**Juju** describes the track as “*a song about longing. I think it’s a song for anyone who has ever felt like they are stuck between two worlds, struggling to find a place in either. Of course, I wrote this song about my own experience, but I also wrote it hoping that it might reach other mixed race and/or Indigenous people who have longed for deeper connection to their culture. “*

Juju has enlisted the help of multiple producers including Joel Ma (a.k.a. Joelistics), Steven Schram (Paul Kelly), and Jamieson Shaw (Netflix series *The Get Down*), and includes a number of features from Hip Hop MC Mirrah (L-Fresh The Lion) to soul music royalty Joshua Tavares.
