Sad Shit - Single



Wafia Al-Rikabi (born 4 August 1993) is an Australian singer-songwriter of Iraqi-Syrian origin. Al-Rikabi signed to indie record label Future Classic, releasing her debut EP XXIX in November 2015. The EP's lead single Heartburn, produced by Ta-ku, received praise from producer Pharrell Williams being played during his Beats 1 radio show. In March 2016, she released the single Window Seat in collaboration with the New Zealand artist Thomston. Later in August 2016, she collaborated again with the Australian producer Ta-ku, releasing the EP (m)edian. The EP features a story about compromise in relationships, which both Wafia and Ta-ku experienced independently in of each other in their lives. Wafia released a new single, Bodies, in late 2017. It was written on the day her family members were denied refugee status for entrance into Australia, which influenced the track's lyrics. However, due to her dislike of pseudo-intellectual feeling music, the track was instead upbeat in contrast to the lyrics in an attempt to make the song accessible. Wafia's single I'm Good was voted number 14 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2018. In April 2024, Wafia announced she had signed with Nettwerk and released single Background. On 7 February 2025, Wafia released her debut studio album, Promised Land, preceded by seven singles. Read more on Last.fm.
