Ghana’s rising star Gyakie has officially announced her highly anticipated debut album, After Midnight, arriving August 29th. Alongside the news, she unveiled a cinematic trailer directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alex Piper, offering fans an intimate glimpse into her story and artistry.
Born into music as the daughter of Ghanaian legend Nana Acheampong, Gyakie is ready to step fully into her own power with After Midnight. The album is a deeply personal project inspired by the stillness of the night, with most of its songs written and recorded during the late hours. “It is within those hours that I find my best inspiration to write. The peace and quiet, the sounds from the birds, the serenity, everything about that time fuels my creativity,” she explains.
Blending love, reflection, spirituality, and celebration, After Midnight captures the emotions and moods that unfold when the world goes quiet. The project is introduced by the soulful viral hit “Sankofa”, the dance-driven anthem “Unconditional”, and its stirring “Intro” track, each showcasing Gyakie’s versatility.
With After Midnight, Gyakie promises an album that is both deeply personal and universally relatable — a soundtrack to love, life, and the magic of the night.
