Wafia
Hotly-tipped vocalist and songwriter Wafia—born in the Netherlands to Syrian and Iraqi parents and now based in Australia— has premiered the video for her new single 83 Days today, featuring a live performance of the track alongside co-writer Ben Abraham (Kesha’s Praying). Watch it below.



Wow! I love her sweet vocals and I am a sucker for piano based tracks! Speaking about the video Wafia said:
Being able to sing these songs with my co-writer, longtime collaborator and friend, Ben Abraham, was really special for me. He’s a big part of my project and the conceptualization of these songs so it’s super important to me that we can strip these songs back and sing them the way we wrote them.

83 Days, produced by Toro (Tory Lanez, Cashmere Cat, Kehlani), is the first from a new EP set for release on Future Classic this summer.

Wafia is 23-year-old Wafia Al-Rikabi. She rose to prominence after posting a Thrupence-produced cover of Mario’s “Let Me Love You” online. The release of Wafia’s debut EP XXIX, which featured the viral hit “Heartburn,” followed in 2015.
