Ghanaian superstar Black Sherif continues to affirm his place as one of Africa’s most compelling musical voices with a raw, soul-stirring performance of his track “ONE” on the acclaimed COLORS platform. Stripped-back and emotionally charged, the live rendition showcases Sherif’s unique voice and lyrical depth, reaffirming the spiritual potency that has defined his meteoric rise.
“ONE,” taken from his critically acclaimed sophomore album IRON BOY, is a quiet declaration of faith, persistence, and grace. Performed in front of COLORS’ yellow backdrop, the session strips away all distractions, placing Sherif’s voice and presence at the forefront. The performance has resonated deeply with fans across the globe, further establishing him as a force in contemporary African music.
Following a hugely successful tour across the US and Europe earlier this year and a recent BET nomination for Best International Act, Black Sherif has now officially announced the rescheduled dates for his highly anticipated UK shows. He will headline London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on July 4th and 5th, with an additional date added due to overwhelming demand, and perform at Birmingham’s O2 Institute on July 6th. The brief postponement of the UK leg allowed Sherif to recalibrate creatively and deliver a show that meets the exceptional standard his fans have come to expect.
IRON BOY continues to leave an indelible mark. The 15-track project blends Afrobeats, hip-hop, and highlife, and features stand out collaborations, including Fireboy DML on “So It Goes.” With contributions from acclaimed producers Joker Nharnah (Kwaku The Traveller) and Samsney, the album is a bold statement of intent and introspection. Black Sherif’s journey, from the Ashanti region of Ghana to global recognition, has been defined by unflinching honesty and a refusal to compromise. With every performance, every verse, he redefines what it means to be an artist from Africa in today’s world. As “ONE” continues to echo across digital platforms, Sherif enters a new chapter, grounded, intentional, and fiercely committed to his craft.
