Neo soul and alternative r&b in new single ‘Ghosts’ by Sarife
With her new single “Ghosts”, neo-soul and r&b artist Sarife presents the title track of her upcoming debut album, Ghosts from the Past, to be released on June 5, 2026 via Waterfall Records. As the third single from the album, the song offers a particularly deep insight into the artist’s emotional world – personal, honest, and powerful.
In “Ghosts” Sarife explores inner fears, old insecurities, and past experiences. It’s about the courage to confront one’s own ‘ghosts’, accept them, and ultimately let them go. The song tells a story of self-reflection, healing, and the process of inner growth – carried by a warm, soulful soundscape.
In this track, Sarife blends nostalgic influences from the 90s and 2000s with modern neo-soul. Inspired by icons like Destiny’s Child and Aaliyah as well as contemporary artists like H.E.R. and Cleo Sol, a sound emerges that feels both familiar and fresh. Gentle grooves, soulful harmonies, and an intimate vocal performance lend the track its special depth.
With “Ghosts” Sarife once again underscores her artistic ambition to transform personal stories into timeless music – creating a space where listeners can find themselves and feel understood.
