Tyla’s Rise to Stardom: Confidence Meets Celebration

Tyla Seethal is not just a name; she’s a phenomenon bursting with confidence and ready to bring the heat. Over the past year, this South African Grammy winner has dazzled on some of the world’s most iconic stages—from the sprawling fields of Coachella to the glamorous Met Gala red carpet.

‘WWP’: A Dance-Ready Bundle of Pure Energy

Tyla’s latest offering, ‘WWP’, is her first music bundle since last year’s deluxe edition of her debut album. It’s a compact, energetic collection designed to fill dancefloors at block parties and nightclubs alike. Featuring just four tracks, this release packs a punch, inspiring listeners to lose themselves in the rhythm and vibe out fully.

Her sound takes cues from earlier hits like the Sean Paul-assisted dancehall remix of ‘Push 2 Start’ and the TikTok favorite ‘Show Me Love’. These songs capture Tyla’s gleeful and hedonistic spirit perfectly, flipping usual sophomore album expectations on their head by focusing on pure fun rather than introspective storytelling.

Short but Sweet: The Power of Four Tracks

While her debut album showcased a wide range of styles and vocal flexibility, ‘WWP’ keeps things tight and direct. Each track shines on its own merits, though the short length might feel a bit limiting. Still, the collection is a celebration of self-confidence and female empowerment, perfect for those moments when you want to feel yourself and just dance.

A Dynamic Collaboration: ‘Dynamite’ with Wizkid

The album kicks off with ‘Dynamite,’ a collaboration with Afropop superstar Wizkid that’s been eagerly awaited by fans. Produced by P.Priime, this track is a sultry, danceable anthem that effortlessly blends sensual lyrics and smooth vocals. Tyla’s distinctive South African accent adds a unique flair, making the song a fluid and intoxicating listen.

Beneath the song’s rapturous surface, the pair’s breathless delivery, along with Tyla’s own South African lilt and charisma, makes you acutely aware of the fluidity in your body.

Exploring Fame and Fun: The Essence of ‘Mr Media’ and More

Tyla expertly navigates amapiano’s complex rhythms and pop-leaning R&B melodies throughout the release. On ‘Mr Media’, she addresses the pressures of fame with a laid-back coolness, crooning, “No matter how hard I try / I can never get it right,” while the crowd chants “Woza” (Zulu for “come”) in the background. It’s a perfect snapshot of her poised yet relatable personality—a star in full command of her artistry.

Party Anthems with Depth: ‘Bliss’ and ‘Is It’

The singles ‘Bliss’ and ‘Is It’ set the tone for this mixtape’s vibrant sound. ‘Is It’ is a lively party starter where Tyla shows off her effortless charm as she asks, “Is it wrong that I wanna get it right with you?” against a backdrop of infectious drums and subtle homages to her South African roots.

In contrast, ‘Bliss’ pulses with the rush of youthful desire, accompanied by lush production. The music video for this track presents a dystopian yet dance-filled narrative, balancing moments of gloom with bursts of joy. It’s a perfect example of the exciting regression pop revival sweeping South Africa’s music scene.

Final Thoughts: Dancing to Her Own Tune

‘WWP’ may not be a deep manifesto, but Tyla doesn’t need to make grand statements—her work speaks for itself. Having climbed the ladder of success through sheer talent and resilience, she’s now simply dancing to the rhythm of her own accomplishments.
