The gold-selling Netherlands-born LA-based Iraqi-Syrian troubadour Wafia returns triumphantly with her sixth single "Distant", the follow up to the Triple J chart topping track "Crystal Ball" and "Sad Shit". Renowned for her acute powers of observation and poignant lyricism, Wafia's music offers a compelling portrayal of the world unfolding in real-time. What distinguishes Wafia within the realm of pop music is her profound understanding of the human experience, underscored by her unique identity as both Arab and queer. Her musical journey began to gain significant momentum in 2015 with a cover of Mario's "Let Me Love You," amassing an impressive five million SoundCloud streams. Subsequently, her track "Heartburn" caught the attention of Pharrell Williams, who featured it on his Beats1 radio show, catapulting her into the spotlight. The endorsement of cultural icons like Jaden Smith and Kylie Jenner further propelled her ascent, illustrating the organic growth of her fan base. Wafia on Distant: "This song was written and 10 mins fresh off a huge fight with my ex who was always making me feel quite smothered and overwhelmed. At our core, he always wanted me close and I was always looking to be far."
