SAFIA DROPS NEW SINGLE
‘THE THING ABOUT LOVE’
‘The Thing About Love‘ is the new single from much-adored Canberra trio SAFIA. It features their signature blend of in-the-pocket electronic beats, haunting vocals and soaring melodies that will stay with listeners long after the song ends.
The band say of the track; “‘The Thing About Love’ explores the pain and lightness that comes with sharing a truly deep bond with someone, but in particular, the point just before that connection is about to be severed”
SAFIA is no stranger to the Australian music scene, having been nominated for numerous awards and won accolades for their unique sound and captivating live performances. With ‘The Thing About Love’, the band continues to push boundaries and explore new territories with their music.
This is the third single to come from the band in recent times, following on from dancefloor heavy ‘Today‘ and uplifting bittersweet single ‘Falling Down’.
Both SAFIA’s second album Story’s Start or End and their debut Internal showcased the Australian three-piece’s bold vision and fine attention to detail, with intricate production and adventurous arrangements underpinning thoughtful musings on identity, growth, and understanding.
Achievements across both albums were numerous with two Platinum certified singles ‘Make Them Wheels Roll’ and ‘Embracing Me’, and multiple Gold certified singles ‘Starlight’, ‘My Love Is Gone’, ‘Together, Locked Safely and ‘Over You’. They also drew in a Gold certified album plaque, and ARIA and triple j J Award nominations.
They have accumulated over 200 million streams, plus an incredible 700 million streams in China with their viral hit ‘Counting Sheep’. They’ve also collaborated with festival favourites Peking Duk (‘Take Me Over’) and Alison Wonderland (‘Take It To Reality’). They have placed in triple j’s Hottest 100 over four consecutive years, sold out numerous headline shows locally as well as toured US, UK, Europe and China and played lauded festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Groovin the Moo and Beyond the Valley.
‘The Thing About Love’ is the beginning of what promises to be a big year for SAFIA. Fans can expect more new music, live shows, and exciting announcements in the coming months.
