Wafia's rose methodically through the music ranks. We first came to know of her a couple years ago through a fabulous feature on Japanese Wallpaper's "Breathe In", and, while she's featured on a couple other tracks since, we've not received yet any original tracks from her. That changes today. With "Heartburn", we're given a first-time peak at what the up-and-coming artist is capable of on her own, and, while we're certainly not surprised by the voice we hear on the track—she's always had one that's captivated us in brilliant ways—we're excited to hear her standalone aesthetic. Ta-ku, one of her several new label partners, provides downtempo, percussion-infused production for her to glide over, and glide she does. "Heartburn" is a special piece from her, and we can't wait for more to come out. "Heartburn" will be out this Friday, October 23, and, following that, a debut EP entitled XXIX will be released November 20.
