Tyla has taken the music world by storm ever since her song ‘Water’ started to gain popularity.
The South African has been clear about what she intends her music to sound like. “I knew I wanted my sound to be a mixture of pop, R&B, Afrobeats, amapiano,” she told Time magazine last year. The young singer announced her debut album months ago and had it on pre-order much in advance so she could build it up properly.
The music video for ‘Water’, which amassed close to 150 million views in just a few months, gave birth to the #TylaWaterChallenge. Tyla says the moves that captured the internet’s attention are actually “a dance style in South Africa,” and not twerking, as some assumed.
The 14 song album has guest appearances from Travis Scott (on the official ‘Water’ remix), Gunna, Tems and more. Stream it below.
