    Ghana’s beloved Afro-fusion sensation Gyakie is officially back with fresh music — and it’s more than just a single. The songstress has announced the release of “SANKOFA”, her first single of the year, which drops this Friday, May 23, and serves as the lead record off her upcoming body of work titled AFTER MIDNIGHT.

    Sharing the news with fans via social media, Gyakie expressed her excitement:

    “First single of the year ‘SANKOFA’ is getting unleashed this Friday, 23rd May my people. I’m so excited.”

    The title “Sankofa”, derived from the Akan language, translates to “go back and fetch it.” It’s a powerful cultural symbol in Ghana and across West Africa — often represented by a bird reaching back for an egg on its back — urging people not to forget their roots or past experiences, as they carry essential lessons for the future. This concept hints at the song’s lyrical depth and thematic direction, suggesting Gyakie may be blending personal reflection with broader commentary on identity, growth, and heritage.

    While details about the album AFTER MIDNIGHT remain under wraps, the title itself suggests a more intimate, perhaps vulnerable body of work. It evokes a time when thoughts are raw, emotions are real, and creativity flows freely. If “SANKOFA” is anything to go by, the album might explore new sonic textures and more introspective storytelling — a bold step in Gyakie’s musical evolution.

    Since bursting onto the global scene with her breakout hit “Forever”, Gyakie has remained a beacon of originality and cultural pride in African music. She’s known for her calming yet powerful vocals, genre-fluid style, and her ability to fuse Afrobeats, R&B, highlife, and soul into a sound that is uniquely hers. With collaborations spanning continents and stages from Ghana to the UK and beyond, Gyakie has firmly established herself as one of the most promising African female artists of her generation.

    “SANKOFA” promises to be more than a song — it’s a statement, a spiritual callback, and possibly a reintroduction of an artist ready to tell new stories.
