Safia's "Listen to Soul, Listen to Blues" started life as a giveaway. The Australian electronic trio, who won a competition in March 2013 to play the nationwide Groovin' the Moo festival, put it up as a free download on SoundCloud next to "Stretched and Faded" and "Mercury", and it became their debut single when it finally reached iTunes on December 18, 2013. Triple J gave it plenty of airplay along the way.
Jimmy Ennett directed the video, which had gone up on YouTube back in July. Purple Sneakers heard dreamy vocals and sparse piano caught up in a swirl of beats that tips over into dubstep, and called the whole thing a soulful slow jam.
