They say that art is inherently cathartic. Personal expression at the maximum potential. Well, that’s certainly the case for ‘NGMB’, the latest effort by London-based songstress Leonie Sherif. Featuring introspective and personal lyricism which explores the pain and reckoning around human relationships, the single provides strong healing energy to its author, allowing Sherif to share her thoughts with like-minded listeners.
It’s obviously a relatable, anthemic song. While its lyricism is rather meaningful and deep, the track’s sonic character is decisively more playful and groovy, showcasing a fresh and contemporary take on afrobeat and amapiano elements. Leonie’s charming, soulful vocals are a perfect match, constantly showcasing R&B influences and catchy melodies.
Active in the British music industry for more than a quinquennium, Sherif has built a solid songwriting reputation, often teaming up with other artists and working on third-party records. Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘NGMB’, she explains: “Crafting this was a liberating experience, I hope it uplifts you as much as it empowered me to create it.”
