MUNGMUNG unveils glittery debut LP Boujee Bby
Eora-based multidisciplinary artist MUNGMUNG today unveils her debut album Boujee Bby, out independently via OOMA Records and complete with special features from 1300 and BOY SODA. LISTEN HERE.
Boujee Bby is a balance of ultra-soft and vigorous, a balance that seamlessly straddles warm R&B with energetic hip hop. Speaking to the album’s process, MUNGMUNG shares “It’s an extension of what listeners know of me so far. I have songs on here that I wrote when I was 16 to 18 in addition to a few newer ones from half a year ago. I was inspired by certain situations and true emotions or thoughts I’d had. I hope that listeners feel something… Or wanna jump around their bedrooms singing at the top of their lungs. I hope they feel like Boujee Bbies by the end of track 15. If there’s any type of connection, I’m here for it.”
Presenting an eclectic collection of tracks housed in a multifaceted approach that brims with confidence, Boujee Bby is a wild ride through sound and beyond. Including the previously released, soul-tinged ‘PRINCE CHARMING’ and high-powered ‘ATTITUDE PROBLEM ft. 1300’, Boujee Bby is rounded out with thirteen brand new tracks including ‘Loyal ft. BOY SODA’ and today’s spotlight, ‘IF U SAY’.
Written over a virtual session, ‘IF U SAY’ details the progression of heartbreak of which MUNGMUNG reveals, “IF U SAY’ is like the long text or voicemail you leave for the fuckboy who has wasted too much of your time. It’s a ball of disappointment, frustration, heartbreak but on the other hand, realisation of self-worth and being waaaay better off. I was feeling a way upon reflecting on relationships (to me) that were in fact roller-coaster-ride situationships (reality of it all). ‘IF U SAY’ is for all who have been done dirty to scream out with their best friends in the car or dance around their room with a hairbrush microphone to.”

Self-assured and full of personality, Boujee Bby is MUNGMUNG at her heightened self and teems with authenticity as an extension of her art. In a celebration of MUNGMUNG’s much-loved return, one that has already seen her land FBi Radio’s Independent Artist of the Week, deliver her unmatched live energy on triple j’s Bars of Steel and a performance at Phoenix Central Park, alongside a resume of support slots including Ngaiire, Taka Perry, Chelsea Warner, BOYSODA, Billy Davis and Gold Fang, MUNGMUNG was also among the 2022 BIGSOUND lineup, of which triple j described as “a perfect way to kick off BIGSOUND. An emerging artist with a cutting-edge sound and approach to performing – precisely the kind of thing so many of us are seeking this week.”
Having ushered into 2023 with a new realm of authentic creativity, MUNGMUNG sends tremors through her bold aesthetic reminiscent of early-2000s, powerful vocals, and infectious melodies that are anchored in the sonics of hip hop and R&B. Marking her place with her 2021 debut single ‘Missed Calls’, MUNGMUNG was met with excitement by listeners across the globe with her follow up debut EP MAIN CHARACTER, which made waves across triple j, FBi Radio, The Sydney Morning Herald, MTV, Complex AU and more for her take on soulful melodies and clever lyrics that linger.
