Tyla Had A Feeling Drake Was Going To Follow Her Back On Social Media: “He’s Gonna Come”

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyla has been rising through the ranks (and the charts) at a rapid rate over the past few months. It is due to her incredible singing talent that she displayed on her breakout hit single, “Water.” The song dropped back on July 28 and has continued to pile up the streams. It currently sits at over 217 million. Because of this Tyla’s hot summer-ready jam is now at the highest it has ever been on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, right at the tenth spot.

Additionally, the South African pop artist recently put out some remixes to the song to add some unique flavor. Travis Scott and EDM megstar producer, Marshmello, each have their versions. “Water” and its remix with the Houston rapper are going to be a part of her debut self-titled album. Apple Music says the LP will be out on March 1, 2024. Tyla gave some fans more to chew on sonically with promotional tracks “On and On,” “Butterflies,” and “Truth or Dare.”

At some point, Tyla was going to receive some co-signs from other popular artists. One of them was Drake. In a recent interview with Big Boy, the 21-year-old phenom was waiting for a follow back from the Canadian icon. “Definitely Drake because I was lowkey waiting for him. Because I knew he’s gonna come, he’s gonna come.” Sure enough, he did accept the request on Instagram. The comments underneath the post are making the running the joke that whenever a new female artist begins to pop off, he keeps tabs on them for about a year and then unfollows them. One person says, “She knows that Drake follows every new girlie that takes off in the business just like we know! ” Another goes, “He bouta unfollow her when he sees this w his sassy self.”

Tyla also hinted at some material coming with him, but she said, ‘I’m silenced.” What are your initial thoughts on these comments by Tyla? Why do you think she was waiting for Drake’s follow the most? Could you see these two working on music together? Do you think the jokes being made in the comments are accurate? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sounds that have originated from South Africa have been dominating radio stations, streaming platforms, and playlists. It seems that 2023 has been the year of genres like Afropop, amapiano, house, and Afro house. Honestly, it is a refreshing thing to see.

Due to its meteoric rise, remixes with Marshmello and Travis Scott have recently released. Now, Tyla is looking to build on this popularity with a handful of new cuts.

Tyla Challenges A Man To Step Up His Game On Her New Single, ‘Truth Or Dare’

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

South African Afro-fusion singer Tyla has made quite the wave this year. The global sensation just reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 with her breakthrough single, “Water.” Tonight (December 1), Tyla followed up with an equally catchy and groovy single.

On her new song, “Truth Or Dare,” Tyla revisits a past lover, however, she is older, wiser, and more principled this time around. She lays down the law, and informs him that she won’t fall for his charm so easily again.

“So let’s play truth or dare / Dare you to forget that you used to treat me just like anyone / Truth or dare? Is it true you care? / Now that you can see the love from everyone,” she sings on the song’s chorus.

“Truth Of Dare” follows the announcement of Tyla’s self-titled debut album, which she announced via social media yesterday.

“Everything that’s happening has surpassed anything I could have dreamt of,” she said in the post’s caption. “African music is going global and I’m so blessed to be one of the artists pushing the culture. I’ve been working on my sound for 2 years now and I’m so ready for the world to hear it.”

You can listen to “Truth Or Dare” above.

Tyla Wants The Party To Go ‘On And On’ During Her Chill Live Performance On ‘A Colors Show’

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyla is continuing her busy year by making an appearance on A Colors Show to perform a unique spin of her sing “On And On.” With just a dangling microphone in the room, it gives her vocals a crisp, crystal-clear sound that shows off just how talented she is.

“Let’s take it back in time / Party like it’s ’95,” she sings in the pre-chorus, making it a chill take on the carefree anthem. “I just wanna dance all night / You know that I like it like that / Let’s take it back in time / When the Parties were like ’95 / I just wanna dance all night / Tell them, ‘Turn the lights out.’”

The track has been rumored to be included on her forthcoming self-titled debut album, which has been suspected to be dropping in early 2024. At the very least, she has new music coming. Tyla made waves through the success of her song, “Water.”

“As soon as I heard ‘Water,’ I said, ‘It’s over.’ We have the song,” she told Rolling Stone about the experience of appreciating her song on first listen. “I would describe ‘Water’ as the song of the year… it’s the sound of Africa. It’s not only for Africa, but it’s for the world… It’s literally me [bringing] Africa to the world.”

WATCH: Tyla Shows Jennifer Hudson How to Do Viral “Water” Dance

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyla hit The Jennifer Hudson Show and spoke about her viral hit “Water.” During her visit to the hit daytime show, Tyla and Hudson left the chairs of the talk show set up so the singer could show the Oscar winner how to do the viral dance. You can see it below.

Emerging artist Tyla has become a social media sensation, amassing over one million Instagram followers since her debut single, “Water,” made its way into the Billboard Hot 100 chart and ignited a viral TikTok dance challenge.

A recent study by NetInfluencer analyzed Tyla’s social media metrics, shedding light on the remarkable growth in her following since the release of “Water.” The 21-year-old artist’s Instagram following witnessed a meteoric rise of 1.5 million since the single’s launch on July 28th. This surge was primarily fueled by the viral dance challenge associated with the track, which attracted an impressive 600,000 new Instagram and 200,000 TikTok followers within the first month.

Tyla’s TikTok account, @Tyla_, saw a staggering 3.8 million new followers joining since August, leading to a significant spike in her estimated earnings per post, now reaching an astonishing $11,800.

“Water” entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October, further accelerating Tyla’s social media ascent. During this period, she acquired an additional 865,000 Instagram followers, surging from 1.4 million to an impressive 2.3 million followers, averaging 30,000 new followers daily.

This surge in followers has translated into enhanced earning potential, with Tyla now estimated to earn approximately $5,860 per sponsored Instagram post, based on her substantial follower count and an impressive 16.19% engagement rate.

“Rarely do you see a new artist make a worldwide impact such as Tyla, having already made a historic entry with Water, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Global 200,” a NetInfluencer spokesperson said. “TikTok played a significant role in its success, with social media analytics revealing the singer rapidly gained followers and entered the global charts after going viral. This could lead other artists to try to replicate Tyla’s social media success, to which TikTok contributed greatly. It will be interesting to see what the singer does next to build on her rising fame”.

Notably, Tyla’s Instagram followers now include celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Drake, and Chance the Rapper.

“Water” has cemented its place as one of the most popular songs on TikTok in the last 30 days, and with over 117 million Spotify plays, it can potentially earn the artist nearly $471,000, based on the average earnings per stream.

Tyla has carved her name into history as the youngest South African artist in over 50 years to grace the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” Scores Him His Third Consecutive No. 1 Hit, Tyla Cracks The Top 10 With “Water”

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jack Harlow has had a big 2023 already, but it looks like he is not slowing down anytime soon. Back in the early stages of the year, the Louisville, Kentucky rapper dropped his more lyrically-focused record, Jackman. It was an all-killer and no-filler type of album. With just 10 songs at around 24 minutes and change, Harlow was spitting about some personal battles, white men in the rap game, and more. LPs like that do not really do well numbers-wise and that was the case for him too. However, he seems to be going back to what he does best.

That is to make catchy singles that slowly work their way into your head. His latest crack at this formula is “Lovin On Me.” It draws heavy inspiration from one of Jack’s biggest idols, Drake. He nabs the melody from “The Motto,” and adds a little element of what makes him who is. The track is doing serious numbers right now, with over 65.5 million streams on Spotify already. After being out for two weeks, it takes over the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, according to Uproxx.

Jack Harlow And Tyla Have Bops

This now gives the 25-year-old his third consecutive number-one hit. The tracks to do this before it are “First Class” and “Industry Baby” with Lil Nas X. In another new development amongst the top 10, we have up-and-comer, Tyla, with her summer-ready groove, “Water.” This dropped back in July, but it has just reached the upper echelon of bops. It slips and slides right into the tenth spot. Tyla’s first bonafide breakthrough track is just over 200 million plays. Additionally, she just released some new versions with Travis Scott and Marshmello.

What are your initial thoughts on Jack Harlow going number one with “Lovin On Me” and Tyla making the top 10 with “Water?” Which song do you feel is better? Are these two tracks the best hit songs of 2023? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Jack Harlow Lands His Third No. 1 Single And Tyla Scores Her First Top-10 On The New ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 Chart

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated December 2, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Tyla — “Water”

What a breakout year for Tyla: The South African artist has herself a breakout hit with “Water,” and now it is one of only relatively few songs ever to find itself in the top 10 of the Hot 100, after rising from No. 15 last week. Remixes with Marshmello and Travis Scott released on November 17 gave the track the boost it needed this frame.

9. Taylor Swift — “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]”

“Is It Over Now?” was No. 1 three weeks ago, but now it finds itself barely hanging on in the top 10. That’s of course not the biggest Swift news of the day, though, as she just announced a VOD release for her Eras Tour concert movie.

8. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

The holiday season really makes time irrelevant: Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” celebrates its 65th anniversary this year, and here the Christmas classic is in the top 10 of the Hot 100.

7. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

Like Tyla, McRae just had her first top 10, although “Greedy” achieved the feat last week. Now, its success continues as the song rises up a spot from No. 8 to No. 7.

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

Bryan and Musgraves’ collab has been a multi-genre force over the past few months: Aside from maintaining a Hot 100 presence, it’s currently No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 13th week and on the Hot Country Songs for a ninth.

5. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” is thriving right now, as SZA’s hit remains in the top 5 of the Hot 100 while leading the Hot R&B Songs chart for a 17th week.

4. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Yes, it’s starting again. Every year, Carey’s 1994 holiday hit had a major leap this week, rising from No. 17 all the way to No. 4. At this point, it’s appears to be only a matter of time before the frosty favorite reclaims the top spot for yet another holiday season.

3. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

It’s appropriate a song about the color red is thriving on the first December-dated Hot 100, but that’s not new, as it’s been at or near the top of the chart for some time now.

2. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

After spending five total weeks at No. 1 so far, Swift’s revived 2019 hit is taking a break from the throne as it slides down to No. 2 this week, thanks to a surging newcomer.

1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Last week, Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” was the chart’s biggest debut at No. 2. Now, it has managed to knock Swift off the top spot and rise to No. 1, becoming the rapper’s third career No. 1 single (following “First Class” and the Lil Nas X collab “Industry Baby”).

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Tyla Teases The Release Of Her Next Single ‘Truth Or Dare’ With A Steamy Video Clip

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

South African singer Tyla is amapiano music’s rising star. Following the release of her viral song “Water” and the subsequent TikTok challenge, Tyla has snatched the public’s attention. In fact, this month, during the 2024 Grammy Awards nomination ceremony, Tyla even earned herself a nod in the Best New Artist category. Shortly after that, to serve as icing on her blissful career cake, she dropped the remix to her smash hit, which featured a guest appearance by Travis Scott.

Although the jury’s still out on what “Water” is actually about, the meaning of her next record is clear-cut. Yesterday (November 25), Tyla took to her official X (formerly Twitter) page to tease her new song.

“Truth or Dare. Pre-save, December 1,” wrote Tyla. In the steamy teaser clip, Tyla appears to be cutting things off with a past lover struggling with her newfound fame.

“Can’t handle what I am now / You’re a fan now / And I’m not what I was / So tell me, are you down now? / ‘Cause I’m up now / So, let’s play truth or dare / Dare you to forget / That you used to treat me just like anyone / Truth or dare,” sings Tyla.

Although there are no aquatic tricks in the video like in the official visual for “Water,” the sound will make a splash once the entire record hits streaming platforms.

“Truth Or Dare” is out 12/1 via Epic.
