Chart-topping Ghanaian sensation Black Sherif has joined forces with British singer Mabel for his highly anticipated second single of 2024, ‘Zero’, released through his record label, RBA and Empire.
This dynamic track exudes a sense of tranquility, emphasizing the beauty of a drama-free zone. The seamless blend of Black Sherif’s Ghanaian influence and Mabel’s British charm creates a captivating musical experience that encourages listeners to embrace a life without unnecessary complexities. ‘Zero’ is a celebration of simplicity and the joy found in a drama-free existence, delivered through a fusion of Hip hop, R&B, and Afro-pop sounds.
Following the release of his first single of the year, ‘January 9th’, which delves into his personal experiences, emotions, and perspectives on a poignant journey through the artist’s musical evolution, the 22-year-old artist shrugs off competition from the convulsions of the music industry and implores the essence of living drama-free in every aspect of life, from personal relationships to societal challenges.
The infectious beats and seamless fusion of diverse musical influences make “Zero” a staple production from his in-house producer, Joker Nharnah, and the universal message and catchy melodies are set to leave an indelible mark on the global music scene.
Black Sherif, a native of Konongo, a small mineral-rich town in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, has risen against all odds to become the country’s biggest star. Embracing a diverse musical palette, he bridges the gap between Afrobeats, highlife, and Ghanian drill, showcasing his wordplay, storytelling, and linguistic versatility.
Since the release of his debut album in 2022, The Villain I Never Was, Black Sherif has solidified his place as one of Africa’s most powerful creative voices and has been recognized with massive global streaming numbers, making him the most streamed Ghanaian artist of 2022 and 2023 on Spotify and the most streamed Ghanaian artist of all time on popular African streaming platform Boomplay.
Black Sherif continues to break new grounds for music emanating from Africa on the global stage, with hints of the release of his sophomore album this year, as well as nominations and headlining performances at some of the biggest festivals in Africa and globally.
