Scottish soul singer Becky Sikasa releases her new single, ‘Wait Up’, full of dreamy vocals and resonating lyrics. ‘Wait Up’ is her third single release this year, following astonishing singles ‘dreaming on 5htp’ and ‘Work of Love.’ On her social media, Sikasa describes the song as ‘When it feels like the people around you are reaching all these goals they’ve set for themselves and hitting these classic milestones… while you look around on a Friday night and find yourself with a sad salad and crisps for dinner recording vocals on your stupid bed cause the stupid room in the flat up in Mount Florida wouldn’t fit a desk. You might ask yourself, what in the fresh hell am I doing with my life?’ This song serves as an ode and a reminder to Sikasa and her listeners not to get lost in the comparison trap, not just on social media but in real life. You are doing just fine on your timeline.

Sikasa is known for writing songs that are scenes from life, art and literature, as she writes emotive songs about questions of her belonging, identity and connection, with her move to Scotland as a child helping to hone her songwriting skills. She dives deep to tie her heart and soul to the words she puts on paper, with a versatile, grounded and pure voice. From the start, Sikasa captivated tastemakers and music lovers in the UK and Germany.

Sikasa released her debut album last year, ‘Twelve Wooden Boxes,’ which earned her praise and accolades. She has been shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year with her debut and praised on BBC Introducing for her single ‘Work of Love’ and her melodic voice. She also has a nomination for Outstanding Artist in this year’s German PopNRW awards. She has a lot of big things coming her way, with her headlining her show, ‘Work of Love’, in Edinburgh, London and St. Lukes in Glasgow in the next few months. With her acclaim, accolades, opportunities and nominations, it is evident that Sikasa’s future in music as a Neo Soul and R&B artist is radiant.
