papaya noon - through the moods (2026) [Hi-Res]

papaya noon is a Cardiff-based duo comprising vocalist Annie Mirza and multi-instrumentalist Greg Marriott, formed five years ago. Their music represents a distinctive fusion of jazz-infused R&B, soul, hip hop, and electronica, which has already attracted over 80,000 followers online and earned recognition from major US artists including Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg, Queen Latifah, 9th Wonder, and others. Every aspect of their creative process—from songwriting to production—is handled entirely by the duo in their Cardiff studio.
Their new six-track EP 'through the moods' explores themes of neurodivergence, trauma, and loss with sensitivity and depth. Each track—from the debut single 'blush' to the closing 'crybaby'—showcases their talent for crafting infectiously memorable melodies while delivering layered, deeply personal lyrics. The duo's work blends nostalgic 90s sensibilities with contemporary futuristic elements, creating a sound that feels both distinctly theirs and remarkably contemporary. papaya noon emerges as rising stars on the British soul scene.
