Gyakie’s debut album ‘After Midnight’ is already making waves — and now it’s earned a nod from one of Ghana’s lyrical heavyweights.
Rapper M.anifest took to X to share his admiration for the project, praising Gyakie’s unmistakable vocal tone and stripped-down writing style. He described her delivery as effortless and emotionally resonant, saying the songs on the album struck a personal chord.
‘After Midnight’, released on August 29, is a 17-track journey through late-night introspection, emotional healing, and sonic experimentation. With features from 6lack, Shatta Wale, Omar Sterling, Headie One, and Young Jonn, the album blends Afro-R&B, highlife, amapiano, and soul into a cohesive body of work that showcases Gyakie’s growth and versatility.
The singer, born Jackline Acheampong, revealed that most of the songs were written and recorded after midnight — a time she says fuels her creativity. From the introspective “Damn U” to the nostalgic “Y2K Luv” featuring her father’s sampled vocals, Gyakie invites listeners into her world with honesty and flair.
M.anifest’s endorsement adds weight to the buzz surrounding the album, positioning Gyakie not just as a rising star, but as a voice with staying power in Ghana’s evolving music landscape.
