Ghanaian sensation Gyakie has heightened anticipation for her long-awaited debut album ‘After Midnight‘ with the release of its official trailer on Monday, August 18, 2025.
The trailer drop comes just weeks ahead of the album’s arrival on August 29, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most talked-about African music projects of the year.
Running one minute and twenty-six seconds, the visual teaser unfolds like a short film, weaving together the project’s central themes of identity, tradition, and self-discovery.
