Why I Like Recording In The Dark – Gyakie
Songstress Gyakie recently shared her preference for recording in a dimly lit environment during an interview with Helen Appiah-Ampofo on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show.
She emphasized the importance of creating an atmosphere that encourages introspection and enhances creative inspiration. The experience becomes even more enriched for Gyakie when collaborating with her favourite producers.
According to her, listening to the beats and envisioning the perfect storyline to complement them is a crucial part of her creative process.
“I like recording in the dark When I’m working with my favorite producers, it’s always a plus for me. I listen to the beats and try to imagine what story line would work with them. If I’m in a particular situation at the moment of recording, it makes it easier because I’m able to actually talk about what I’m experiencing.
“But if I’m not, sometimes I create a story in my mind and then I write that story into the song, she concluded. Gyakie conveyed gratitude for the teamwork involved in music production, emphasizing the significance of establishing a solid partnership with her producers.
“All my producers that I’m comfortable working with are people that I’m able to have a working relationship with. I like producers that are able to explore, bring crazy ideas and sounds.”
“This year everything is going to come back,” she declared. “The album is coming, a couple more singles will even come before the album, vibe with me with Gyakie will also come on this year, so this year be ready to be sick of me,” she asserted.
Reflecting on the Ghanaian music industry’s recent successes, Gyakie expressed optimism for its future. “2023 and 2024 have been very good years for the Ghanaian industry.
“There’s already been like, I can count maybe 5 or 6 songs that are really buzzing. So, I think this year is looking really, really, really good and I’m so proud of where we are headed,” she said.
