Ghanaian singer and songwriter Gyakie has announced that her highly anticipated new single, “Your Body,” will be released at midnight. The artist shared the news on Thursday, October 15, 2026, via a post on X, generating immediate excitement among her growing fanbase.

In the announcement, Gyakie simply stated: “my next single ‘YOUR BODY’ goes live this midnight,” accompanied by a striking promotional image. The photograph shows the singer in a glamorous, intimate pose against a warm orange backdrop.

She wears an elaborate pearl-and-gold beaded halter top, multiple strands of pearls, and a matching bracelet, with her eyes closed and one hand gently raised to her face. The soft lighting and elegant styling underscore the sensual yet refined aesthetic often associated with her music.

The release of “Your Body” is scheduled for October 16, 2026, and is expected to serve as a key precursor to Gyakie’s third EP, titled The Dawn, which is slated for release later in the year. Industry reports describe the track as a smooth, feel-good record that blends Gyakie’s signature soulful Afro-R&B sensibilities with catchy Afro-fusion rhythms.

Fans and commentators have positioned it as a continuation of the melodic style that has defined her recent output, following earlier 2026 releases such as “365 Days” and “After Midnight.”

About the Artist

Born Jackline Acheampong on December 16, 1999, in Kumasi, Gyakie also known as Song Bird has emerged as one of Ghana’s leading contemporary voices in the Afro-fusion and alternative R&B space. The daughter of highlife legend Nana Acheampong, she first gained widespread attention with her 2020 EP Seed, particularly the breakout single “Forever,” which topped charts across Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria.

Her distinctive vocal delivery and ability to fuse traditional Ghanaian highlife influences with modern R&B and Afrobeats elements have earned her a dedicated following both on the continent and internationally.

Gyakie’s career has continued to gain momentum. In 2025 she released her debut album After Midnight, which later received a nomination in the Rest of Africa category at the South African Music Awards. She was also named to the Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 class of 2025.

After completing a joint deal with Sony Music West Africa and RCA Records in the UK, she is now fully supported by her independent label, Flip The Music, led by Emmanuel Sedo.

The announcement of “Your Body” arrives during a busy period for the artist. Earlier in October she appeared as the guest artiste at the OkayAfrica Culture Cafe in Accra, where she discussed her creative journey and teased upcoming projects, including a live show planned for December.

She has also spoken about the emotional impact of music, clarifying a previously viral comment by explaining that she was describing how a strong record can be “injected” into a listener and deeply felt.

Public Reaction

Music platforms and Ghanaian media outlets have already begun circulating the artwork and pre-save links for “Your Body,” encouraging fans to mark their calendars. Early descriptions highlight the song’s potential to deliver an upbeat, danceable yet intimate vibe consistent with Gyakie’s established sound.

As one of the more prominent female artists in the current Ghanaian music scene, her releases often generate significant streaming activity and social media conversation across West Africa and the diaspora.

The timing of the single also positions Gyakie strongly heading into the final quarter of the year, a period traditionally packed with major releases and live performances in Ghana. With The Dawn EP on the horizon, “Your Body” is widely viewed as both a standalone offering and a strategic teaser for the fuller body of work to come.

Gyakie’s ability to maintain consistent output while refining her artistic identity has solidified her reputation as a reliable and evolving talent. From the early success of “Forever” to her more recent album and EP projects, she has steadily expanded her catalogue and audience.

The midnight drop of “Your Body” continues that trajectory, offering listeners a fresh addition to her discography at a moment when anticipation for her next chapter is already high.

As the clock ticks toward the official release, fans are expected to rally around the track on streaming platforms. For many, the combination of Gyakie’s polished vocals, evocative visuals, and the promise of more music from The Dawn makes “Your Body” one of the more closely watched Ghanaian releases of the week.
