Adnan Sami On Taking A Break From Music And Comeback

When asked about his break from making music and comeback, Adnan Sami said, “There were just so many things happening at the same time. Whether it was my citizenship, the weight loss, or some personal problems I was going through, everything seemed to collide at once. Then my father passed away, and that hit me the hardest. He was such an integral part of my life, a real driving force. I don’t think anything affected me as deeply as losing him. He knew me so well, he was like my other self; he was incredible. He would often laugh and say, ‘Look, you’re not going to like this,’ and I’d insist, ‘I like it,’ and he’d reply, ‘I’m telling you, I know you better than you know yourself.'”

The singer added, “And sure enough, six months later, I’d go back and admit, ‘Okay fine, you were right.’ He was always the first person I wanted to play my music to. He was my security blanket and my most honest critic. If something sucked, he’d say it. If it was terrible, he’d tell me. And if it was good but could be improved, he’d guide me. He was a great gauge for me. So with all that going on, it felt overwhelming. It’s strange, you spend a lifetime fearing the moment they’ll be gone. And then one day, you’re suddenly confronted with that very reality you’ve dreaded your whole life. And in that moment, you just think—now what?”
