publication · 2026-04-24

South African singer Tyla will release her second studio album 'A-Pop' on July 24, following her self-titled debut 'Tyla' which brought her international breakthrough. The album is described as African, confident, and uncompromising, blending Afropop, R&B, and Dancehall. The tracklist includes previously released single 'Chanel' and a new dancehall collaboration with Swedish pop artist Zara Larsson titled 'She Did It Again'. Tyla's parents initially gave her one year to prove herself in the music industry; she succeeded with the viral hit 'Water' in 2023, earning a Grammy nomination and awards. For her second album, she took more time to develop her sound. The collaboration with Larsson reflects both artists' experiences navigating the pop world.
