Written By Christabel Newman 

Ghanaian music collective 99PHACES have officially released their latest single, WAY BACK, available now across all major streaming platforms. The drop, which arrived on Today, continues the group’s mission to redefine the sound and narrative of Ghana’s alternative music scene.

Since their emergence, 99PHACES have built a reputation as one of Ghana’s most forward-thinking collectives. Their genre-bending approach blends alté, Afrobeat, R&B, and hip-hop influences, creating a sound that both resonates locally and appeals globally.

Their 2023 debut project, SO WE MADE A TAPE, positioned them as a fresh force in the industry, praised for its immersive sound and bold collaborative spirit. With WAY BACK, 99PHACES showcase their evolution while staying rooted in the identity that first captured attention.

WAY BACK is more than just a single; it’s a marker of artistic growth. For 99PHACES, it reaffirms their ability to remain relevant in a fast-paced industry while building anticipation for what’s next, whether a larger body of work or more standalone releases.

The song also reinforces the importance of collectives in Ghana’s music ecosystem. By uniting diverse talents under one identity, 99PHACES continue to prove that collaboration can be a driving force for creativity, visibility, and cultural influence.

For both fans and industry stakeholders, this release underscores one truth: 99PHACES are not just part of Ghana’s alté movement, they are helping lead it.
