Gyakie revealed she will start from her father, citing that fans are eagerly anticipating a joint project.
She also hinted that she already has unreleased tracks with her dad and that her debut album “After Midnight” holds a sneak peek into what’s to come from this highly anticipated collaboration.
Specifically, her song “Y2K luv” which features Omar Sterling on her maiden album samples her Father’s classic hit “Anka Ebeye Den”
“I think everybody is anticipating a song with my Dad from time so I will start from my Dad and give it to the people”. Wait, we actually do have the songs, they just have to come out, that’s why I sampled him on the album so they know it’s coming. I have a sample of my Dad Anka Ebeye den on Y2K luv with Omar Sterling”, she said.
This father-daughter collaboration promises to bring a unique blend of traditional highlife and modern Afro-fusion sounds. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, excited to see these two talented artists come together.
