Let’s rewind a bit to 2023 when Tyla burst onto the scene in the coolest way possible. Her song “Water” didn’t just make waves, it created a whole tsunami of excitement! From starting the “Water Challenge” on TikTok to racking up a mind-blowing 5 million posts and over 9.6 billion views worldwide, this song was everywhere! And let’s not forget about those hundreds of millions of streams and smashing the charts like a boss!

Now, fast forward to her debut album, where Tyla is teaming up with some of the hottest artists out there, like Kelvin Momo, Tems, Gunna, Skillibeng, Becky G, and oh yeah, Travis Scott, who jumped on the remix of “Water”!

Sure, we were bummed when Tyla had to cancel her tour, but hey, the silver lining is here! With this album dropping, it’s like she’s giving us the ultimate consolation prize. So, get ready to turn up the volume, because Tyla is about to take over your playlist, and you won’t want to miss it! 

While you’re here, Tyla joins Nandi Madida via FaceTime on Apple Music 1 to talk about her latest track, “ART.” She also discusses her new album, ’TYLA,’  the evolution of her sound, working with local and global producers, and sharing South African sounds with the world.
