Vika & Linda - The Wait

The Wait is the seventh studio album by Australian vocal duo Vika and Linda, released in September 2021 via Bloodlines.

The Wait is the new album from beloved duo Vika & Linda. The Wait is their first studio album with original material in nineteen years.

The song writing credits for The Wait read like a who’s who of Aussie music royalty: Don Walker, Glenn Richards, Chris Cheney, Bernard Fanning, Kasey Chambers & Brandon Dodd, Ben Salter, Paul Kelly, Matt Walker and Neil Murray, Mick Thomas and Jemma Rowlands, and emerging talent Eva Seymour.

The Wait follows Vika & Linda’s triumphant 2020, which saw them score their first number one album when their career anthology, ‘Akilotoa, entered the ARIA charts at number one – the first ever number one album by an Australian female duo. Three months later, their gospel collection, Sunday The Gospel According To Iso, debuted at number two.

The album features the singles “My Heart Is In The Wrong Place” and “Raise Your Hand”.

In a statement, Linda Bull said "It took us three times to make this record, it kept getting delayed and we've been waiting 19 years to make this record... waiting for more songs. Waiting for the right opportunity".

Jeff Jenkins from Stack magazine called The Wait "the album of the year", writing: "This is the sound of two women taking control of their careers and refusing to play it safe... The result is as close to perfect as any record you'll ever hear”.

This album is a limited edition on clear coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via Bloodlines.
