Everyone can sing, but no one else can sing like Khadija. Khadija has the vocal tone of a superstar. Her vocal has so much nuance and facets that hearing her music is like a journey to discover just how many different personalities that she can effortlessly be in one song. The multi-faceted artist is no doubt very skillful and versatile. Khadija seems to be in full control, artistically and personally. She knows exactly the sounds she wants to achieve with her voice and she brings the best to her listeners.

“Tired But I Can’t Sleep” delivers a highly engaging experience on an artistic and emotional level. Her music is a brilliant blend of exotica, spirituality and soul with a pinch of quirkiness and laughter. “Tired But I Can’t Sleep” tackles those trippy dizziness and frustration of the in-between feeling a person gets when they’re exhausted but still awake. Hearing the little details, like frictions, little electricity in Khadija’s voice is such an incredible experience. The backdrops certainly emphasize her vocal performance, being the dark contrasting the light.

The innocence and sweetness and laziness and fruitfulness all seem to tell different sides of the story. And then, there’s mystery and complexity in the song that Khadija so perfectly channeled. She’s versatile and full of energy. Unpredictable, like the weather, but she amazes you of the spectacular phenomena that you get to witness along the journey.

“Tired But I Can’t Sleep” marks the second official original release from Khadija. It pushes towards a dazzling climax, heating towards a powerful vocal moment. It seems to illuminates and elevates while really wrenching listeners’ heart as it gets more intense, massive and drastic.

The track continues a similar aesthetic from her debut release “Let it Go, Let Be,” where her singing is more of an art expression than purely being a music track. Khadija delivers such a satisfying listening experience that only Billie Eilish type of A-list artists could deliver. It’s not a surprise that a voice like hers gets featured in The Voice UK. The only surprise would be, how come she isn’t signed to a major label? One thing that’s for sure: Khadija surely deserves major exposure and her own cult followings.
