Ghana’s beloved vocalist Gyakie is back with a stunning new release that showcases exactly why she’s earned her “Song Bird” nickname. Her latest offering, TREASURE, marks a powerful return to solo territory after riding high on several international collaborations, and it’s a masterclass in vulnerability wrapped in silky Afropop production.
The track unfolds like a love letter set to music, with Gyakie’s crystalline vocals taking center stage over lush, midtempo Afrobeats rhythms. Produced with remarkable restraint, TREASURE lets the emotion breathe—there’s space between the beats, room for every inflection in her voice to hit home. The accompanying visual, helmed by director Leewyrd through Yawa Multimedia, amplifies this intimacy with a cinematic approach that feels both personal and polished. What makes the song particularly captivating is how Gyakie effortlessly code-switches between English and her native tongue, adding layers of authenticity that connect with listeners across the diaspora.
At its core, TREASURE is a celebration of finding someone worth keeping—that rare kind of love that makes everything else fade into the background. Gyakie delivers these sentiments with such earnest conviction that you can’t help but believe every word. The single proves she doesn’t need big-name features to make an impact; her artistry stands firmly on its own. As the track picks up steam across streaming platforms, it’s another reminder that Gyakie continues to be one of West Africa’s most compelling voices in contemporary Afrobeats and R&B fusion.
