How does “A*POP” build on Tyla’s career momentum?
“A*POP” builds on the musical direction Tyla established by blending Amapiano, pop and R&B. The album features the singles “Chanel,” “Is It Love” and “She Did It Again,” featuring Zara Larsson.
The project follows Tyla’s breakthrough success with “Water,” which earned the singer her first Grammy Award. According to Billboard, the single helped establish her as one of Africa’s fastest-rising global stars. Billboard also reported that “Chanel” reached No. 1 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, while “Is It Love” became her fourth No. 1 on the chart.
The album and accompanying tour mark Tyla’s latest career milestone as she expands her international footprint across four continents starting this October.
