Tyla’s story over the past few years has been like a modern-day fairytale. It feels almost unbelievable how quickly she’s skyrocketed from local success to international acclaim. Remember Getting Late, her debut single with Kooldrink back in 2019? That infectious track with its blend of pop and African influences put her on the watchlist in South Africa.
Fast forward to 2023, and Water became a global phenomenon, propelling Tyla to a whole new level and landing her the prestigious honor of her first Grammy win.
Despite the level of success she has earned in recent times, Tyla obviously isn’t resting on her laurels. The ambitious songstress is ready to conquer even more territories as she releases highly anticipated debut album, simply titled, TYLA.
The 14-track album is an exciting collection of songs, it’s also a statement. Water, the global smash hit, is there of course, alongside a fire remix featuring hip-hop star, Travis Scott. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The guest list on this album reads like a who’s who of contemporary music, with collaborations featuring the sultry sounds of Tems, the smooth flow of Gunna, the infectious energy of Skillibeng, the Latin flair of Becky G, the soulful stylings of Kelvin Momo, and of course, the return of Travis Scott.
