Tyla Drops Captivating "Breathe Me" Music Video

GRAMMY-winning global superstar Tyla has released the highly anticipated music video for “Breathe Me,” the latest single from her record-setting debut album, TYLA. Directed by Nabil, the “Breathe Me” video is the fourth visual release from her self-titled LP, following the success of “Water,” “Art,” and “Truth or Dare.”

The video picks up right where “Truth or Dare” left off, transporting viewers to a serene and romantic setting in Osaka, Japan. Here, Tyla and her love interest embark on an adventurous date night, disconnecting from their phones and immersing themselves in the moment’s magic—an almost dream-like escape from reality.

“Breathe Me” is the newest addition to Tyla’s impressive music video lineup that has taken the world by storm. Her previous videos, including “Art” and “Jump,” have collectively garnered 75 million YouTube views, further solidifying her status as a rising star. Her hit single “Water” is also up for ‘Best R&B Video’ at this year’s MTV VMAs.

Tyla’s meteoric rise has been marked by a string of achievements, including her debut on the Billboard 200, where she became the highest-charting African female soloist in the chart’s history. She also won two 2024 BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best International Act, cementing her place as a global music sensation.

Omah Lay & Tyla Are Only “One Call” Away On SPINALL-Produced Single

by

SPINALL, aka DJ Spinall, is here with “One Call” featuring Tyla and Omah Lay, a single that figures to dominate late-night summer bashes. This is an all-African collaboration, between the Nigerian producer and fellow singer, as well as the “pretty girl from Joburg” (Johannesburg, South Africa). All three respective artists have done a lot for their culture, putting out some of the biggest Afrobeats/Afro-fusion records as of late. While Omah Lay did make some not-so-great headlines for contributing to a break-up at one of his concerts, his feature game has been top-tier. Just ask the likes of Kehlani, Luciano, and Libianca how much he has helped with their streaming numbers. As for Tyla, her self-titled debut has been doing extremely well since its release this past March.

Songs like “Jump”, “Water”, “Truth or Dare”, and “ART”, continue to rake in millions of streams. Finally, SPINALL has been riding off the success of his 2023 record TOP BOY. Hopefully, with singles like “One Call”, “Psalm 23”, and “Loju”, we get a new record before the end of the summer. As we said, this latest song is perfect for this time of year. The danceable rhythm is quite undeniable from the start and its lowkey vibe make it that perfect song to snuggle up to with your boo. You can stream “One Call” with the lyric video provided below.

“One Call”- SPINALL, Omah Lay, & Tyla

Quotable Lyrics:

I will always fight for truth
If I have the chance to choose (Here we go)
Like every other superhero
My weakness is love
I don’t do it for the medals
‘Cause no me without us

Tyla Teams Up With Spinall And Omah Lay For The Mellow ‘One Call’

by

Three of African music’s hottest rising stars team up on “One Call,” the new single from Nigerian producer/DJ Spinall (pronounced spin-all), featuring Nigerian singer Omah Lay and South African breakout Tyla. Featuring a mellow and hypnotic Afrobeats instrumental, the song finds Omah and Tyla lyrically pining for a potential fling, telling them that they’ll only be “one call” away. With its reassuring chorus and cool blend of African sounds, it’s a slick party starter for a laid-back summer vibe.

“One Call” continues Tyla’s US takeover, which began last year with the arrival of her inescapable bop, “Water,” and rolled right into 2024 with the release of her self-titled debut album. In the months since, Tyla graced the Met Gala, signed on for special shows at Lollapalooza, and released her inner tiger at the 2024 BET Awards. And although she had to cancel her upcoming tour for medical reasons, moments like her Gap campaign with new song “Linen Moves,” Becky G collaboration “On My Body,” “Jump” video with Gunna and Skillibeng, and now, “One Call,” will likely keep her in the spotlight and building momentum until she recovers.

Meanwhile, Omah Lay continues to payoff the prediction made by Uproxx’s Wongo Okon in 2022, contributing to Afrobeats’ expansion in the US public eye.

Tyla Embraced Her Inner Lioness (NSFW Body Paint And All) At The 2024 BET Awards With A Performance Of ‘Jump’

by

Tyla’s self-titled debut album has received raved reviews, from fans and Uproxx alike. Unfortunately, supporters weren’t album to enjoy any of the songs from the project after she was forced to cancel her supporting tour.

But tonight (June 30), supporters from around the world were able to witness what could’ve been. Alongside her collaborators, Gunna and Skillibeng, Tyla performed her single, “Jump.” To pay homage to her South African heritage (as shown in the track’s official video), the set was filled with nods to the motherland.

There was no water to be found, but there was plenty of nature element. Surrounded by a mock safari display, Tyla’s background dancers even assumed the role of lioness trapped in a cage with NSFW body art. But even the box couldn’t hold Tyla’s slithery dance moves.

Tyla found viral success thanks to her liquid and booty jump combination seen in the official video for “Water.” But she has much more than one-legged twerking in her choreography bag. She can wine, twerk, but most importantly sing live. As the budding amapiano pop crossover princess, Tyla’s vocal ability can’t be ignored. Earlier in the evening, Tyla took home the awards for Best New Artist and Best International Act, so it certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

Kai Cenat Calls Tyla For North West’s Birthday Celebration: Watch

by

Kai Cenat is one big ball of contagious energy and positivity. The streamer has become quite the pop culture/social media figure due to his persona. Unfortunately, even though he emits radiancy from every pore, people online are going to find something to nitpick. This time it had to do with The Bronx, New York native helping celebrate the birthday of North West, who just turned 11. Due to the bash being in New Jersey, he was able to pull through, as the daughter of Kim and Kanye cited that Kai is her favorite streamer. Some angry trolls on social media were getting on the 22-year-old due to the age gap between the two.

Instead of letting the criticism slide, Kai Cenat fired right back at the haters. “I am North’s favorite streamer bro, okay? So, yesterday, all she wanted to do was meet me, bro. That was it. Literally. So, anybody who’s making it weird like, that’s the weirdest thing ever”, he asserted. “We had a great time yesterday. She’s great, bro. She has a good group of friends around her, like, everything was great”.

Kai Cenat Calling Tyla Is Something North West Will Never Forget

Everything was clearly amazing, especially for the birthday girl. She got to meet Kai, as well as one of her favorite singers right now, Tyla. The Johannesburg amapiano and Afrobeats singer has had a breakout year with her self-titled debut album and multiple hits under her belt. All of that success has clearly caught the attention of one of the most famous kids on the planet. Because it was her special day Kai did North a favor by calling Tyla on FaceTime so she could speak to her “idol”. It was a cute and funny interaction, as North and her friends called her pretty, while simultaneously poking fun at Cenat getting friend zoned.

What are your thoughts on Kai Cenat calling Tyla for North West on her birthday? Do you think Kai is one of the best role models for this younger generation, why or why not? Is this one of the more wholesome moments we have seen in the pop culture sphere this year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tyla Releases Statement on ‘Coloured’ Conversation After Viral Breakfast Club Moment

by
Tyla Revamps Amapiano Music WIth Self—Titled Debut Album

While at The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God questioned Tyla about the debates surrounding being a “coloured” person from South Africa. Tyla’s team interjected, asking not to discuss the subject. Following the viral moment, Tyla shared that she has never denied her blackness.

“Never denied my blackness, idk where that came from…” Tyla wrote. “I’m black/Zulu, irish, Mauritian/Indian and Coloured.

“In Southa I would be classified as a Coloured woman and other places I would be classified as a black wom[a]n. Race is classified different in different parts of the world.”

Tyla’s ‘Breakfast Club’ Interview Was Interrupted By Her Publicists Saving Her From More Colorism Questions

by

I thought we already settled this, but apparently, here we go again. South African hitmaker Tyla recently appeared on The Breakfast Club radio show, where a line of questioning undoubtedly designed to generate a viral moment regardless of the consequences for the 22-year-old star was shut down by her protective publicists.

As Charlamagne The God — who’s never been known for his tact and sense of nuance regarding fraught topics — asked her what it means to be “coloured” in South Africa (again, here’s a refresher for those who need it), a voice can be heard from off-camera asking, “Can we not, por favor?”

Tyla, who was already a star in her home country before “Water” broke in America, has had a stellar year to date, releasing a well-received debut album fueled by the Gunna-featuring remix of her breakout hit and cross-cultural collaborations with stars like Becky G and Skillibeng.

Although she was forced to cancel her highly anticipated headlining tour for health reasons, her star continues to rise. And with her previously addressing the differences in how America and South Africa do systemic racism, it’s clear she has no time for the Breakfast Club crew’s usual shenanigans.

ASAP Rocky To Headline Rolling Loud Thailand In November

The newest update regarding ASAP Rocky’s new album came last month. He claimed that part of the delay in the release of the project was due to songs he was working on being leaked online. Despite that being a common issue among artists, in this case fans weren’t buying it.
