Ghanaian AfroSoul and R&B artiste, Darkua, is thrilled to announce the release of her new single, “Miiya”. Known for her soulful powerful vocals and compelling messages, Darkua delivers yet another soul-stirring track that resonates with listeners worldwide.
Produced by Insvne Auggie and expertly mixed and mastered by Fortune Dane, “Miiya” is a captivating blend of signature and soulful melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a seamless fusion of contemporary and traditional Ghanaian sounds. The track features backing vocals from EssTheeLegend, adding a layer of harmony that enhances the song’s emotional depth. “Miiya,” which translates from the Ga language to English as “I’m leaving”, is an anthem of
empowerment and self-liberation. Through this single, Darkua encourages listeners to leave toxic and abusive relationships, emphasizing that “it’s not worth sacrificing your peace” to remain in environments that hinder personal growth and happiness. With moving lyrics and evocative vocals, Darkua provides a poignant reminder of the importance of self-worth and resilience.
In anticipation of the release, Darkua shared her thoughts on the new single: “ ‘MiiYa’ is a song for every person going through domestic violence with their intimate partners. In most cases, they fear the stigma that comes with it, so they stay silent. Sometimes, offenders guilt the survivors into staying. Other times, they’re threatened.
Leaving a relationship/marriage with a violent partner can be tough, because you believe, and have hopes that they’re going to change one day. You strongly believe, that nice, sweet person you met in the beginning is going to come back. Truth is, they’re never going to change.
It’s only going to get worse. Leaving is never easy, but don’t be scared to seek or accept help.
No matter how bad the situation is, it’s never too late to leave. I believe you can come out of it
and whoever you are, wherever you are, I love you.”
