Ta-ku & Wafia – (m)edian EP

How do you create something that is pure joy for your ears to listen to and simultaneously sends all the right chills throughout your body? Apparently its as simple as pairing up two of Australia’s brightest young stars Perth’s Ta-ku and Brisbane’s Wafia.

Ta-ku’s name has become synonymous with sensual romantic beats and production, while Wafia has made a name for herself with silky sweet vocal work. So as you can imagine when you put these two together in a room the output is going to be incredibly sweet, romantic and touching.

Over the course of 11 minutes and 28 seconds the listener is greeted with three full length singles filled with R&B inspired beats layered with dreamy piano keystrokes and Wafia’s fantastic vocals. Between the three full-length singles there are two bridging interludes which work nicely but are far from memorable.

The three singles here are all absolutely fantastic and will certainly be in rotation in my office. I can only hope this talented pair produce more music together. (JA)
