Ghana’s genre-defying voice, Black Sherif, has dropped the official visualizer for “Soma Obi”, one of the emotionally powerful tracks off his latest album IRON BOY — and it’s as haunting as it is beautiful.
In the visualizer, Black Sherif is seen performing the song alone, standing in the middle of a vast, barren landscape — an open stretch of land marked by still puddles of stagnant water and scattered holes. The imagery evokes a sense of solitude, reflection, and raw vulnerability, echoing the deeply introspective tone of the song.
Dressed in a distinct and soulful style that blends streetwear with afrocentric minimalism, Black Sherif commands attention with his performance — eyes heavy with emotion, voice filled with pain and purpose. “Soma Obi,” like much of IRON BOY, explores themes of betrayal, survival, and inner strength, delivered through his signature blend of soul, trap, highlife, and street gospel.
The sparse setting of the visualizer adds to the weight of the lyrics, leaving viewers immersed in the emotion rather than spectacle. It’s a powerful visual statement that proves once again why Black Sherif stands apart as one of Africa’s most authentic musical storytellers.
