Ghanaian‑American singer-songwriter Gyakie returns with “Unconditional,” the second release from her upcoming debut album After Midnight.
Produced by Afrolektra, the track unfolds over lush guitar lines and clipped percussion as Gyakie’s warm vocals express a raw plea for love without expectation. Her chorus—“Come and give me love, you no for pay”—cuts through pretense, capturing the simple yearning for a connection that asks nothing in return.
Since her breakthrough with the viral hit “Forever,” which charted on Billboard’s Afrobeats list, Gyakie has balanced commercial success with artistic integrity. Her first single from this album, “Sankofa,” drew critical praise for its introspection, while “Unconditional” shifts toward romantic vulnerability late into sleepless nights. Named Woman of the Year at the 3Music Awards, she has also collaborated with leading African artists and garnered millions of streams across platforms, establishing her as one of the continent’s most compelling R&B voices.
“Unconditional” stands apart from the dance‑dominant trends in contemporary Afrobeats by focusing on emotional honesty rather than club rhythms. Afrolektra’s atmospheric arrangement frames Gyakie’s performance, allowing her to convey longing without desperation and reinforcing her dignified approach to vulnerability. The single’s release through Sony Music Entertainment West Africa under exclusive license from Flip The Music underscores her growing stature in the industry.
Available now on all major streaming services, “Unconditional” confirms Gyakie’s talent for turning personal introspection into universally resonant music. As anticipation builds for After Midnight’s full unveiling, this track solidifies her position at the forefront of modern African R&B.
