Gyakie - After Midnight Album

Ghanaian songstress and afrobeat artist Gyakie has taken over the trends with her After Midnight album. According to her, this studio album is highly 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.

The songbird said, “Almost all the songs on the album were recorded after midnight. It’s within those hours that I find my best inspiration to write. The peace, the sounds from the birds, the serenity—everything about that time fuels my creativity.”

Beyond just music, the album reflects Gyakie‘s emotional journey and personal experiences. “I’ve also shed a lot of tears after midnight. “I plan my tears for when I get home from work, and then I let it all out,” she says when she’s feeling low.

The concept of the record is also closely related to Gyakie’s childhood. Whenever she and her siblings are together, she remembers a treasured family custom in which her mother would always pray for them after midnight. “It was and still is a routine. For me, that time of night is really significant.
