Neon Jungle Perform For Idolator Sessions
The UK girl group belt out "Trouble" and "Take Me To Church" in our studio.

Last summer, around the time Neon Jungle‘s debut LP Welcome To The Jungle arrived, we had the British girl group into our studio to perform an acoustic rendition of their very first single “Trouble” and a cover of Hozier‘s then still relatively unknown “Take Me To Church.” Alas, while the girls managed to land two of their five singles in the UK Top 10, their album failed to make much of an impact in other parts of the globe. This week the quartet announced their official split.

“After many honest and heartfelt discussions, we have all agreed with a tremendously heavy heart, that it is time for us to continue our journeys individually,” says a post signed by all four Neon Jungle members on the group’s Facebook. “This does not mean for a second we have separated! We will always and forever be in each other’s lives, and ALWAYS be supportive of one another.”

Neon Jungle, who formed and signed to RCA just two years ago, were comprised of Shereen Cutkelvin, Amira McCarthy, Jess Plummer and Asami Zdrenka.

“Although this is a heart breaking reality for the four of us, it is also extremely exciting, and we would love for all of you guys to also continue our new journeys with us,” the girls continued on Facebook.

See their full announcement below.

“Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.” This, from day 1, has been our mantra and always will be.

We started our journey in an unknown, unnamed “girl band” just 2 years ago. Within that time, we went (rather quickly) from four strangers, to four complete best friends. From being unknown, to being recognised all over the world. From being unnamed to “Neon Jungle”
But Neon Jungle is more than a four piece girl band.
Neon Jungle are Ohana. Ohana – formed by all the love and support we have received over the past couple of years.

Which is why writing this is extremely difficult.

After many honest and heartfelt discussions, we have all agreed with a tremendously heavy heart, that it is time for us to continue our journeys individually.

This does not mean for a second we have separated! We will always and forever be in each other’s lives, and ALWAYS be supportive of one another.

Although this is a heart breaking reality for the four of us, it is also extremely exciting, and we would love for all of you guys to also continue our new journeys with us.

4 for the price of 1 aye!?!?

Ohana is forever

Thank you so much for everything past, present and future.

Yours very truly
Jess, Asami, Shereen & Amira
