Sharifa breaks boundaries with his new single ‘SOMEONE’
The London-based artist explores loneliness and authentic connections on his first new single of 2024, ‘SOMEONE.’
London-based artist and producer Sharifa makes a powerful statement with his latest single, ‘SOMEONE,’ released via Graduation. The genre-bending track delves into the raw emotions of loneliness, unraveling the pain of seeking acceptance and the complexities of disingenuous relationships.
“I remember being in the big studio one day and I’d been going through some tough times. Loneliness and feeling lost has been a huge thing for me my whole life. I’ve always felt like I have to do everything on my own and it’s quite scary. The track also touches on the idea of self-discovery and growth as I come to realize that fitting myself into societal expectations or someone else’s idea might not lead to genuine happiness or fulfillment.
“Halfway through the session, my boss rang me to tell me I’d been fired from my job. They did me a favor as off the back of that, the second verse pretty much wrote itself. I was inspired by my own emotional state I guess.”
‘SOMEONE’ is out now on all streaming services.
