My dream collaboration is with Sade – Gyakie

Ghanaian music artiste Jackline Acheampong, known professionally as Gyakie, has revealed the artiste she dreams of collaborating with.

Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Gyakie named Nigerian-British singer-songwriter Sade as her dream collaborator when asked which artiste she would love to work with next.

“Sade. I’ve gone to the end of the tunnel literally,” she told the host, Nikki Samonas.

Explaining the reason behind her ambition, Gyakie stated that Sade’s lyrics and vocal tone are centred on love, a quality she believes they have in common.

“Her lyrics, and you know her most of her songs are love songs that’s what draws me closer to her sound, lyrics, tone. I see my sound in her sound as well and I think we’ll really sound good if it ever happens.”

Helen Folasade Adu, known professionally as Sade, is one of the most successful British female artists in history. She is widely recognised for her influence on contemporary music and is known for songs such as Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King, and By Your Side.

Meanwhile, Gyakie, also known as the Songbird, is a Ghanaian R&B and Afro-fusion singer. In 2019, she released her debut single, Love Is Pretty, which paved the way for another single, Never Like This. In August 2020, her song Forever, from her five-track EP Seed, gained significant airplay and topped charts in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria.

Gyakie has recently released a new song titled Your Body, which has already attracted public attention within just a few days of its release.
