Tyla’s Self-Titled Debut Album Has Arrived
“Water”, Tyla’s global hit single opened the floodgates for her career, leading to a viral dance challenge and a Grammy win. Now, her self-titled debut album, Tyla is out. The 14-track album which she first teased in November by releasing three songs, is already a fan favorite.
Tyla’s journey did not begin with the viral hits. Before “Water”, Tyla had a discography that included collaborations with some of Africa’s best artists such as Ayra Starr and DJ Maphorisa.
While all her songs got a major bump in streams thanks to her now global fame, it’s her 2022 single, “To Last”, that has seen the highest increase, followed by “Getting Late”. Social media is a huge part of achieving virality, so it’s no surprise that after “Water”, “To Last” had the highest shares on Spotify with an increase of 173%. The star-power that is Tyla and Ayra Starr has made their collaboration, “Girl Next Door” both the most liked track and the most added to playlists, of all her tracks released before “Water”.
Her debut album, with features from Kelvin Momo, Tems, Becky G, and Gunna promises to keep Tyla firmly in the music stratosphere.
“The fact that four of the songs from this album are already in Tyla’s top streamed tracks showcases her immense talent. We are excited for everyone to experience South African talent on a global stage”, says Jodie Tabisher, Artist, Label and Partnerships Manager, South Africa.
