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. Tyla is stacked with instant hits and dance-ready bangers, arriving just in time for the summer. 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.
You can listen to “On My Body” above.

After Tyla‘s success last year with her single “Water,” fans have been waiting to hear what else she has in store — specifically with a full-length album. Thankfully, there isn’t too much longer to wait, as she will be dropping her debut studio record in a few hours.

When Will Tyla’s New Album Be On Apple Music?
Tyla’s self-titled album will be available to stream on Apple Music starting at 12 a.m. ET. For those on the West Coast, you can listen starting at 9 p.m. PT. Earlier this week, she revealed that the 14-track project will include collaborations with Kelvin Momo, Tems, Gunna, Becky G, Travis Scott, and Skillibeng.
“We have the same goals in terms of spreading our sound and our culture to the world and dominating the industry,” Tyla told Rolling Stone about working with Tems. “Also being two girls from Africa breaking down walls, we’re very much supportive. I’m happy that we were able to create something so pretty with a good message.”

Ahead of the release of her debut album, Tyla has delivered the video for the “Water (Remix),” which features Travis Scott. Featuring both stars, their sizzling auras are separated by a glass in the dance-heavy video.
Tyla’s debut album will arrive this Friday. After the release, the “Water” singer hit Instagram to reveal the tracklist. Travis Scott, Becky G, Tems, Gunna, SKillibeng, and Kelvin Momo are featured on the album. You can see the full tracklist below.
Fans hoping to see Tyla on tour have to wait a bit longer. The “Water” singer posted on Instagram that she has called the dates off due to an unspecified injury.
“For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened,” Tyla wrote. “I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes, but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation.”
The jury is still out on what Tyla’s hit song “Water” is actually about. What’s no longer up for speculation is whether the remix featuring Travis Scott will receive an official video. Last night (March 18), the long-awaited visual for the track formerly dropped on Tyla’s YouTube page.
As one of the listed tracks on her forthcoming self-titled album, the pressure was on to deliver something worth talking about, and that they did. The steamy video was well worth the wait. Tyla and Scott’s sexual chemistry is dripping throughout the visual, and that tension flows well into Scott’s guest verse.
“You keep it wet, that’s a real-life challenge / All that ass gotta pour out of gallons / Beauty in the top, keep balance / She in her bag, she wildin’ / You ain’t gotta hide your talent / Even if you did, I bet I find it / You know I’m comin’ from the H / But it’s +27 when I dial in,” raps Scott.
The flirty lyrics referencing South Africa’s international country code (Tyla’s home country) surely make the onscreen tension even more believable. Whether it is all for the camera or a sprinkle of actual romance doesn’t matter. All that matters is the fantasy has been gathered, packaged, and bottled to refresh the audience’s thirst for more Tyla.

Tyla’s career is on the fast track toward super stardom. Some may argue she is already there and they definitely make a compelling argument. While she still needs to develop a more robust catalog, she has proven so far that she can write some catchy amapiano, Afropop, and Afro R&B records. Of course, everyone is drawn to the song that really put her on the map, “Water.” It was released at the perfect time last year (July 28), and it looks to have another big outing this summer as well. What will also bolster it is the new music video for “Water (Remix)” featuring Travis Scott alongside Tyla.
The alternate version dropped about four months later, and while it is not as popular as its predecessor, Travis definitely does not take away from its allure. We appreciate the subtle changes for his appearance like the heavier drums and auto-tuned background vocals. It is certainly a justified remix in our books. Now, it is further solidified (or rather liquified) with a music video.

There is some fun and sensual direction behind the camera from Nabil Elderkin. He uses the dark blue color scheme, water, and some sort of divider to excellent effect. It allows for Tyla to come across as the mysterious love interest she is portraying herself to be in the song. Travis is on the other side of the see through wall as she continues to lure him in before they come together in the second half. Tyla’s debut self-titled album hits streaming on Friday March 22 with features from Becky G, Tems, Gunna, SKillibeng, and Kelvin Momo.

Tyla made a new Instagram post today (March 7) where she announced that she would be canceling her tour dates for 2024. She was originally supposed to perform shows in Europe starting later this month, before heading to do a leg in North America, in support of her upcoming self-titled album.
“It’s hard having to turn down opportunities you’ve been waiting your whole life for but God has his plan,” she wrote in the Instagram caption.
Here’s what to know about why Tyla’s tour is canceled.
Why Are Tyla’s Tour Dates For 2024 Canceled?
Tyla opened up in a statement on social media that she canceled her tour due to an injury that she hasn’t healed from. While she didn’t share exactly what happened, it does sound like a serious issue that needs to be dealt with.
“For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened,” she wrote. “I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes, but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation.”
“I am absolutely heartbroken to have to say this but as of right now I won’t be able to proceed with the tour,” she wrote. “In consulting with medical professionals, it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.”
