Wafia Delays Debut Album Release

Aussie expat Wafia planned to release her long-awaited debut album Promised Land this month, but decided to delay its launch after watching the devastation in her new adopted home of Los Angeles. So I thought instead I’d bring you Wafia’s most recent single “Something,” a delicate neo-soul jam that celebrates the headiness of new infatuation.

“I wrote this song after a really really good first kiss,” Wafia shared on Instagram.

Wafia has bundled “Something” on Spotify with all her previous releases from Promised Land so make sure you check them all out. We’ll finally get to hear the album in full on its new release date, February 7.

Wafia Releases Beautiful Single for Sister, “Say It To The Moon”

Wafia’s dreamy new single “Say It To The Moon” is the perfect antidote to the grind of the working week. Press play and just let your mind drift for a few minutes. I swear it’s more soothing than meditation.

Wafia said she wrote the song for her sister. Wafia writes from the perspective of the moon, which both Wafia and her sister would see at night, just from different vantage points.

“This is a song I wrote inspired by all the nights my little sister tried to call me from Brisbane
while I was in LA but she didn’t quite understand time zones,” Wafia explained. “I wanted to write her something from the perspective of the moon, in a way that made her feel like I was always listening and always there.”

“Say It To The Moon” is the latest track from Wafia’s debut album Promised Land, which will arrive on January 17.
