Melbourne-based artist WAMALA’s upcoming EP – ‘Fitter, Better, Healthier’. Is a warm and ethereal exploration of mental health, personal growth, and identity and is described as a ‘black man’s Radiohead’ The first two singles have left both critics and fans in complete awe. Recorded with an 8-piece string ensemble in Melbourne, this EP is a powerful statement from this upcoming contemporary alt/pop artist who is unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic landscapes. Let’s talk about it in great detail
This EP has a combination of songs that encompasses these mental health issues. Each song was crafted meticulously to create a safe place and relate to people going through these issues. Topics that this EP sheds light on are something that is not talked about openly, in fact, most people don’t speak up because they are afraid of being shunned and discriminated against by people who lack empathy so I applaud this artist for talking directly to people going through such issues. Musically, the instrumentation and the vocal performances keep things light and entertaining as listeners navigate through this touchy subjects
What a beautiful album. This album will inspire you to get your mind and body right. The songs were all brilliant and I’m in awe of how well they handled these issues. This artist is very talented and I can’t wait to more of this music
