Safia (band)
Safia is an Australian electronica, indie pop band formed in Canberra. They have released three studio albums. CareerSafia won the Groovin' the Moo competition in 2012.[1] The band says the name comes from a song they wrote called "Sapphire", but it does not mean anything. The band have since found out that safia means serenity in Arabic.[2] When it comes to the band's influences, they claim to have a very broad range of styles and genres but list artists like Purity Ring, Major Lazer, Feed Me, Chet Faker, Disclosure and James Blake.[2] In 2014, they were featured on Peking Duk's ARIA top 10 single, "Take Me Over".[3] Also in 2014, lead singer Ben Woolner appeared as feature artist on the Indian Summer single "Aged Care" under the pseudonym 'Benjamin Joseph'.[4] The band opened for Twenty One Pilots during their 2017 Emotional Roadshow Tour Pacific Leg which started in Wellington, New Zealand. On 30 June 2016, the band announced the title of its debut album, Internal, which was released on 9 September 2016 and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts. On 13 October 2017, Safia released "Cellophane Rainbow". In 2018, they released "Freakin' Out", which was the first track they wrote after their album Internal.[5] The band released their second album, Story's Start or End in September 2019. The album peaked at number 13 on the ARIA charts. In October 2022, the band released "Falling Down", the first release since their second album Story's Start or End in 2019.[1] In August 2023, the band announced the forthcoming release of A Lover's Guide to a Lucid Dream and released its fourth single, "Float".[6] Band members
