Gyakie Unveils Tracklist For Debut Album “After Midnight”

Ghanaian songstress Gyakie is just days away from the release of her highly anticipated debut album, After Midnight. The 17-track project is set to drop on Friday, August 29, 2025, and boasts an impressive lineup of collaborators, including 6lack, Headie One, Young Jonn, and Shatta Wale.

Speaking in an interview with the Grammys, Gyakie opened up about the organic process behind the album’s collaborations: “What I love about this album is that every collaboration came from a genuine need to connect, so it all felt natural — you can hear that these are people who really wanted to make music together. Sometimes with collaborations, it can be strictly about doing your part. But on this project, it was different. These are friends who respect my music, and I respect theirs. They loved the songs so the process was easy and it made the music even sweeter.”

On the significance of featuring heavyweight artists, she added, “Looking at how big these artists are in the industry, it means a lot that they chose to be part of my music. It’s never easy to send a track to someone at that level and have them agree, no matter how good you are. The fact that they believed in the songs and wanted to contribute tells me I’m doing something right.”

One of the album’s standout collaborations includes Ghana’s dancehall icon Shatta Wale, who features on the track “Harmattan.” Gyakie revealed how his voice was the first she imagined on the song: “In Ghana, when it comes to dancehall and reggae, Shatta Wale is one of the first names people mention. He’s done so much for the industry. After I recorded ‘Harmattan,’ I felt it needed someone else, and his was the first voice I imagined on it. We sent the track to him, and I could tell that he loved it because he put so much effort into his verse. I remember speaking with him on the phone, and he told me how much he enjoyed recording it and how good he thought the song was. I’m really grateful he gave his best.”
