Listen: Safia - Embracing Me

With what is sure to be a huge set at Splendour in the Grass on the way and the dust only just settling from their previous darker offering Counting Sheep, Canberra trio Safia have announced a new single, Embracing Me (due Friday 10 July), and a huge Australian to following the afforementioned Splendour set. Embracing Me is a much more joyous affair listened to next to Counting Sheep, offering a fun, bouncy beat and trippy vocal stabs, buoyed along as always by the spine-tingling falsetto of singer Ben Woolner-Kirkham. Take a listen below, and check those tour dates after that.
