tyla : tyla + (2LP)

TYLA + is the deluxe version of her debut album which features three brand new tracks from the GRAMMY-winning singer. On TYLA +, Tyla shines a light on rising South African talent, featuring DJ/producer Tony Duardo and singers Optimist and Maestro, on the opening track of the deluxe trio, “SHAKE AH.” The following two songs, “PUSH 2 START” and “BACK TO YOU,” exhibit Tyla’s continued infusion of R&B into her Amapiano-led palate. Leading up to the explosion of “Water,” Tyla’s chart-dominant, multi-platinum breakout hit, the South African native was adamant in establishing her mission: to push the magic of Amapiano global. She then went on to chart “Water” at a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #7, making her the highest-charting African female soloist ever, and subsequently debuted TYLA within the Billboard 200’s Top 25, making her the highest-charting African female soloist on that chart as well. “Water” went on to win a GRAMMY Award and earned Tyla a slot performing the song at the heralded opening ceremony for this year’s Paris Olympics.
