Tyla Revamps Amapiano Music With Self-Titled Debut Album

by
Tyla Revamps Amapiano Music WIth Self—Titled Debut Album

Following the success of “Water,” Tyla confirms she’s here to stay with her new debut album, released on Friday, March 22.  Tyla is a captivating exploration of love and relationships set against sultry melodies and infectious beats.

From start to finish, Tyla employs undertones of pop and Afrobeats to deliver a unique sound fitting for 2024. One of the standout tracks, “Butterflies,” transports listeners to a heavenly realm with its ethereal melodies and delicate instrumentation.

The album’s star-studded lineup of featured artists displays not only Tyla’s cred in the music industry but also her acute attention to versatility. From Tems to Becky G to Gunna, the album offers familiarity for listeners before Tyla’s voice takes us to new landscapes.

Throughout the album, Tyla is Amapiano’s angel, infusing each track with the genre’s signature rhythms and vibes.  Tyla is continuing her press run this week, having released the video for “ART” and interviewing with Kai Cenat.  We’ll continue to watch as Tyla forges her path to pop crossover.

Tyla’s Freeing Self-Titled Debut Is A Pulsating Party That Puts Amapiano On The Global Stage

by
Tyla 'Tyla' debut album review RX
Epic Records/Merle Cooper

The RX is Uproxx Music’s stamp of approval for the best albums, songs, and music stories throughout the year. Inclusion in this category is the highest distinction we can bestow, and signals the most important music being released throughout the year. The RX is the music you need, right now.

With sizzling flair and a seductive strut, Tyla arrives on the Gunna and Skillibeng-assisted “Jump” from her debut album with a bold declaration. “They never had a pretty girl from Joburg,” she quips, saluting her hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa. “See me now, and that’s what they prefer.” In just a year, Tyla went from a relatively unknown singer carving out her lane in amapiano to a Grammy winner with eyes on being a global pop star. She achieved this without a proper introduction – a showcase that dropped the curtain on a captivating performance Tyla has been itching to debut for the world.

This proper introduction arrives through her self-titled debut album and it injects a new flavor into the pop world that it has not seen before, at least the way Tyla is doing it. The DNA of the South African singer’s music is amapiano, a house music subgenre that originates from her home country. Key elements in its sound include the “log drum,” a bold, speaker-rattling bass that quite literally serves as the heartbeat of amapiano, pumping life into its listener who catches a groove at either a dance party or the comfort of their own home. Then comes high-pitched piano melodies and other percussions like a hi-hat or a deeper bass. The genre has slowly increased its presence in mainstream African music spaces thanks to ambassadors like Uncle Waffles. Records like Wizkid’s “Bad To Me,” Davido’s “Unavailable,” and Asake’s “Amapiano” have adopted the South African genre, the latter two also receiving Grammy nominations. With all eyes on her Tyla, assumed the role of the genre’s ambassadors with the goal of elevating its appeal, something she achieves with Tyla. Tyla perfectly soundtracks the party we all need as summer nears

Tyla’s push of amapiano to the world pre-dates the arrival of “Water,” her Grammy-winning hit record. The first clues that pointed to Tyla being a force to reckon with came with her previous singles “Been Thinking” and the Ayra Star-featured “Girl Next Door.” The former bubbles towards a climactic hook that opens the floodgates to a tide of head-over-heels feelings Tyla pours out to a crush. “Girl Next Door” turns down the temperature with burning pleas of desire, as Tyla and Ayra reserve hope for a waning love.

“Breathe Me” labels a kiss from Tyla the source of life her companion needs to continue onward. It’s equal parts inviting and daring, seductive and tempting, making for a fascinating love affair. “Jump” brings the heat and pulls bodies, burnished with sweat, closer together. “On My Body” positions Tyla and Becky G as dominating damsels, corralling their love interests and reeling them in for a showstopping presentation. Dancefloor lights bounce on their bodies and the percussion syncs with rising heartbeats.

However, Tyla is more than just a party — it’s a declaration of the singer’s pop stardom. For Tyla, it’s the start of a new chapter, one where she breaks free from past limitations and trades in co-dependency for autonomy. On “No. 1,” Tyla and Tems bask in the warmth of freedom. With “Priorities,” Tyla rescues herself from the neverending freefall of people-pleasing. The self-prioritizing also spills in “Truth Or Dare,” a dazzling single that sees Tyla mock and brush off an ex who returned to re-establish their relationship after the singer’s rise in popularity. She

Tyla lives at the cusp of the climax. Whether it’s on the dancefloor, in her love life, or in her music, Tyla is a dominant force. Step aside and allow her to operate or dare to step in the spotlight with her and complement what she brings to the table. “Water,” at both its surface and its deeper, suggestive center, is the daring request to be that adequate complement. The single is the perfect representation of who Tyla is and what it’s like to be in close proximity. As for the album, it’s a free debut that uses a pulsating amapiano party to put the genre on the global stage and set Tyla free into an era where she dominates for the foreseeable future.

Tyla is out now via FAX Records/Epic Records. Find out more information here.

Gunna is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Tyla “Tyla” Review

by

The most important thing to take away from Tyla’s artistry is her unquestionable devotion to her roots. After snagging the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Performance, her career trajectory maintained a steady upward rise. Not that she needed it anyway… her record-breaking “Water” became a global smash hit last year. However, with her eponymous debut album, Tyla proves there’s more than enough material to diminish any thought of her being a one-hit wonder. A priceless marriage of Amapiano, Afrobeat, R&B, and Pop, TYLA is an exceptional showcase of an artist flirting with musical polyamory, while simultaneously staying close to her one true love.  

Africa’s Pop Princess Has Been Years In The Making

Long before the release of her debut album, Tyla Seethal, born in 2002, has been hard at work crafting sultry dance music. With sensual, breathy vocals, her South African imprint elevates her sound beyond mere dance beats and melodies. In 2019, she began to garner buzz following the release of the single, “Getting Late.” The midnight house track, produced by Kooldrink, swiftly enjoyed success in her native South Africa. Released fresh off her high school graduation, it was pretty evident that a star was on the rise. Fast forward half a decade later, and her hard work has since paid off, and on a grand scale too. 

Amapiano Is At The Forefront Of Tyla’s Debut Album

The backbone of Tyla’s debut album is evidently Amapiano. The signature South African sound is heard all through the project, and is clearly where the singer is most comfortable. Since her mainstream debut, Tyla has been vocal about her love for the genre. Moreover, she’s remarkably helped to push the genre’s overall popularity to a higher level. With her music, Tyla is striving to bring listeners back to her home turf. Dance music, although global, is permanently etched into Africa’s history after all. 

Even on tracks like “On and On,” which could easily be passed onto the likes of a Victoria Monét, or Kehlani, it’s the African elements that make it a Tyla song. Moreover, while shining in her comfort zone, Tyla’s vocals are illuminating, resting gently on the album’s many mesmerizing beats. Production credits include Sir Nolan, who has worked with everyone from Muni Long, to Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber, and is behind the seductive “Butterflies.”

However, Sammy Soso, Believve, Ceebeats, and Ebenezer Maxwell are some of the major champions on Tyla’s debut album. Their eclectic mix of Amapiano helps give the album a cohesive feel. From the album’s second track, “Safer,” it’s evident that there’s already another hit single if Tyla chooses. And that’s what makes TYLA a worthwhile project- it’s laced with hits, but isn’t simply a collective of singles. Another key element on the fire track is the contribution of Ariowa Irosogie, also known as Ari Pensmith. The British writer and producer, and his frequent collaborator Richard Isong, a.k.a., P2J, are felt all over the album. 

A Coming-Of-Age Showcase

Tyla’s debut album is also a significant milestone in her rise as a definitive artist. The album covers several different emotions, offering relatable stories of love, lust, and the limelight. Her features are also worth noting. She joins forces with her inspiration, and fellow Grammy-winner Tems, on “No.1.” The track, which has the potential to become a major anthem, is all about realizing one’s self-worth. “I gotta put me number one, no compromisin,” both women sing with believable confidence.

“Jump,” which blends reggaeton, Amapiano, and Hip Hop, is easily one of the project’s standout moments. Tyla travels between the highest and lowest parts of her register, for a definitive dance number about her bod. Gunna and Skillibeng also lend their talents, and each star is given more than enough room to shine. The album’s 11th track, “On My Body,” which features Becky G, is a proclamation of feminine sexuality and energy. Altogether, Tyla evidently found a musical sweet spot, where her sex appeal is on full display lyrically. 

Tyla Is Here To Stay

On her debut album, Tyla makes it clear that this is just a highlight of what’s to come. She worms herself into darker themes, as heard on “Breathe Me” and “Priorities.” However, the glue that ties it all together is her South African musical style. Tyla’s mission is evidently to keep the world on their feet. From “Jozi to Ibiza,” there’s nobody doing it quite like her at the moment. And at just 22, she’s about to extend SA’s mainstream reach on a greater scale.

Tyla told a hilarious story about meeting Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, during a pre-Grammy gala last month. The “Water” musician did an interview with People Magazine about the night they met, where she revealed she was very confused by the encounter.

“I had no idea,” she shared. “I didn’t know who she was, honestly, but I think she may have known [me] because she asked to take a picture with me.” The photo of the two soon made the rounds online, which left many wanting to know the backstory.

“I was like, ‘OK, cool,’” Tyla added. “She held my hand, and I was like, ‘Are you sure we should hold hands?’ Because I didn’t know. I was kind of feeling a bit tight, but she was like, ‘Hold my hand, hold my hand.’ It was cute.”

Throughout the rest of that party, Tyla also met Cher — and freaked out because she knew her as one of her idols. “I was like, ‘What the heck?’ I was literally in so much shock. I love her,” Tyla dished. “She’s always been an inspo… I can’t wait to even tell my kids, that’s how much of a good time I had.”

Check out the wild full photo of Tyla and Nancy Pelosi at the Grammy Awards below.

The roots of my sound are in amapiano music, in South African and African music.” She continues, “Since I started experimenting with amapiano, I just feel like it’s really helped me get to this point where I created something fresh and new, but still familiar and comes from home.”

by

South African hitmaker Tyla has released her much anticipated self-titled debut album tonight (March 22). Having built much momentum with hits like “Water” and “Truth Or Dare,” Tyla has shown herself to be one to watch. And with her promising debut, Tyla reassures us that she’s no flash in the pan.

On a steamy Becky G collaboration called “On My Body,” Tyla seeks to take the moves from the dancefloor to the bedroom — and to every other room in the house.

“Can’t put a price on my waistline / Gotta move on my body / Climb up, can’t say no, mi bacardi,” sings Tyla on the opening verse

Becky G pops in adding some Latin flair to the intoxicating Afrofusion track, combining international forced to deliver a certified banger.

“Come give me everythin’ that you got / Want me slow, keep me up on my toes / Like a ballerina / The bedroom’s old, let’s try a place I know,” sings Becky G, before offering some simple yet sexy directions.
