My boys.... oh Safia! Last year they stole my heart and I've never been the same since! Very few bands can pick me us and blow me away like Safia did last October in New York at my CMJ show. I feel like I tell this story a lot - but I don't care .... it was the best live show I had seen in a while, and I sort of got emotional about it -- but that's ok too because we hugged it out and became the best of friends! They had the same effect over me at SXSW this year, we over packed the room in the rain while they slayed the crowd and then did many many pickle back shots - I love these little muffins very much! Safia has released their new single "Embracing Me" and it's fab! These sweet sultry vocals are unlike anything, super soulful and absolutely brilliant! This is electro dance pop at its best, Safia are the shit! Give them a heart on hypem HERE!
