"Embracing Me" is a song by Australian electronic music group Safia.
The song was premiered on Triple J on July 2[1] and released on 10 July 2015 on iTunes.[2]
SAFIA member Ben Woolner said, "at one stage it was going to be the single before 'You Are The One' so it's been around for a while." He continued, "If you've seen us live you've probably heard this song."[3]
Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Embracing Me" was first released on YouTube on 20 July 2015.[4]
The video was filmed in St Joseph’s church in Gundaroo[5] and revolves around a young Amish couple who are entirely fond of each other, but they’re trapped in a community where any kind of humanly warmth is seemingly frowned upon, especially by the preacher, played by acclaimed Australian actor, David Roberts.[6]
Reviews
Jessica Allard Morishita from Confront Magazine said; "[it’s] light-hearted and smooth, making it the a good match for your summer playlist. It contrasts with their previous single “Counting Sheep,” which is dark and edgy.[7]
A staff writer at festivals of Australia said; “’Embracing Me' pairs intimate lyrical styling with crisp and snappy beat production, offering the new single that’s arguably one of SAFIA’s best yet.”[8]
Charts
In Australia, “Embracing Me” debuted at number 69 on the ARIA singles chart for the week commencing 20 July 2015. The song also debuted at number 8 on ARIA Australian Artist chart.
