Ghanaian music star Black Sherif has revealed that he rarely listens to his songs after they are officially released, explaining that his attention quickly shifts to creating new music.
The award-winning musician made the revelation during an interview on The Brunch in the Citi on Citi FM, hosted by Na Oyoe Quartey.
According to Black Sherif, once a song has been released, he considers the project complete and moves on to the next creative assignment.
“When I drop songs, I don’t listen to them again. I have a lot I’m working on, so I move to the next one,” he said.
The musician added that his personal playlist is largely made up of songs that have not yet been released.
He explained that whenever he plays his own music while driving alone, listeners can almost be certain that the song is unreleased material.
Black Sherif Makes Rare Return to His Catalogue
Despite his usual approach, Black Sherif revealed that he recently made an exception by listening through his previously released catalogue.
He described the experience as unusual because he does not normally revisit his old projects once they have been released.
However, listening back to his earlier work gave him an opportunity to reflect on his growth and musical journey.
According to the singer, the experience left him smiling as he revisited some of the music he had created over the years.
Preparing for ‘Sun Sherif’
Black Sherif said his decision to revisit his previous releases came as he was completing work and preparing for his recent EP, Sun Sherif.
The review allowed him to look back at the different stages of his career, from his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, to his subsequent projects.
He also reflected on his sophomore album, IRONBOY, noting that the project still sounds fresh to him despite having been released about a year earlier.
The comments offer an insight into Black Sherif’s creative process, particularly his tendency to focus on new material rather than repeatedly revisiting music that has already been released.
For the musician, moving forward appears to be an important part of maintaining his creative momentum as he continues to develop new projects.
