Sharifa - Bedroom Light (Single)

Bedroom Light’ arrives as an impressive showcase of Sharifa’s one of a kind energy.

With a diverse sound that sits somewhere between alternative and hip-hop, Bedroom Light shares a compelling and honest take on navigating life's challenges.

Sharing more on the track Sharifa explained: I wrote Bedroom Light when it was 2am in the morning. I was going through an unusual time of emotional struggle and uncertainty and was reflecting on that as I wrote the track. There's a lot of self-reflection, hopelessness, stubbornness and introspection in the lyrics. I came to the conclusion that it's okay to feel trapped by your surroundings and in your own head. I want people to know they aren’t alone in feeling that way. So many of our struggles are universal human experiences.

Making a name for himself as a courageous lyricist, Sharifa’s talent for songwriting is complemented by his raw, dark vocals, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels strangely familiar.

Sharifa grew up in a small town in the East Midlands before making the move to London in 2021. At just 18-years-old, his sound boasts a haunting maturity that sees him stand out as an exciting prospect to watch. Pushing boundaries and channeling his life experiences into his craft, the potential for Sharifa feels limitless.

Already turning the heads at BBC Radio with plays from the likes of Jess Iszatt and features already under his belt from the likes of Noctis magazine, Bedroom Light marks an exciting next step in Sharifa’s Journey. With performing live hugely important to him, he’s already performed at The Great Escape this year not to mention a sold out showcase at KOKO, you can expect news of upcoming live dates very soon!
