In what’s shaping up to be a major moment for Ghanaian music this year, singer-songwriter Gyakie is once again winning hearts — and this time, it’s not just from fans, but from industry heavyweight Kuami Eugene.
Shortly after the release of her latest single “SANKOFA”, the Rockstar himself took to X (formerly Twitter) to show love, posting:
@Gyakie_ ‘s talent is way up there !! #sankofa
— Kuami Eugene (@KuamiEugene) May 25, 2025
The post, though brief, carries weight — especially coming from one of Ghana’s most successful hitmakers. Kuami Eugene’s acknowledgment isn’t just a random shout-out; it reflects the growing respect Gyakie commands within the industry as she carves out her own lane with a distinctive sound rooted in Afro-fusion, soul, and R&B.
SANKOFA, which dropped on May 23, 2025, is the first single from Gyakie’s highly anticipated debut album titled After Midnight, slated for release on June 6. The track showcases a more introspective and refined version of the artist — lyrically mature, vocally confident, and sonically rich. It explores the concept of returning to the past — not to dwell, but to heal and move forward, a theme drawn from the Ghanaian adinkra symbol Sankofa.
Fans and critics alike have praised the record for its soulful depth, with many calling it Gyakie’s most emotionally resonant release yet. And now, with Kuami Eugene weighing in, it’s clear she’s also earned the admiration of her peers.
Kuami Eugene’s tweet has since sparked conversations online about unity and mutual respect among Ghanaian artists something fans are always eager to see more of. In a music scene often dominated by competition and comparisons, moments.
