Gyakie finds power in reflection on new single 'Sankofa'

Ghanaian singer and songwriter Gyakie opens a new chapter in her career with the release of 'Sankofa' - a heartfelt, soul-stirring single that signals both personal growth and the arrival of her long-awaited debut album 'After Midnight'.

Co-written with long-time collaborator Eyram Gbewonyo, 'Sankofa' draws on the symbolic meaning of the Ghanaian adinkra term - to return and retrieve what was once lost. Through stripped-back production and intimate lyricism, Gyakie embraces the beauty of emotional honesty, closure, and reconnection.

Her delivery is delicate yet purposeful, offering listeners a poignant glimpse into the themes set to be explored on 'After Midnight'. As anticipation builds for the debut album, 'Sankofa' feels like both a return to roots and a bold step forward.
