Ghanaian singer and songwriter Gyakie returns with a new single, “Sankofa”, a soulful anthem that explores the power of reflection and emotional truth.
Rooted in the meaning of the Ghanaian adinkra symbol Sankofa – to go back and retrieve what has been lost – the song delicately captures the beauty in reconnection, closure, and emotional honesty. With stripped-down production and emotive delivery, Gyakie offers listeners a glimpse into the heart of her upcoming debut album.
Gyakie is set to unveil her highly anticipated debut album, ‘After Midnight’ this year. The project is a deeply personal body of work, inspired by the quiet, reflective, and creatively charged hours that follow midnight, when emotions run deep, inspiration flows, and the world feels at its stillest.
