WAMALA brought us upbeat vibes with his debut single “Dance Again” earlier this year. But there’s more to this Ugandan/Australian alternative talent than meets the eye. This Naarm/Melbourne-based artist shows his softer side with the release of his latest song “My Whole Life.” While “Dance Again” was a real bop, this new track shows real depth. WAMALA’s stunning voice and the eight-piece string ensemble backing him up make it a song of such rare cinematic beauty. Take a moment to stop what you’re doing and listen, but it deserves your full focus.
WAMALA says he wrote the song after the love of his life randomly appeared in his newsfeed while he was doom scrolling during the 2020 lockdowns. This song perfectly captures the random beauty that can come out of the darkness at a time you least expect it.
“My Whole Life” is the latest track lifted from WAMALA’s forthcoming EP, Fitter, Better, Healthier.
