Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
South African sensation Tyla is gearing up to deliver one of 2025’s most anticipated African music projects. The Grammy-winning artist has officially dropped the complete tracklist for her sophomore album A*Pop, set to arrive on July 24, and the 14-track offering promises to showcase an artist hitting her creative stride.
The tracklist reveal comes at a pivotal moment for the 24-year-old superstar, who’s been riding a wave of global success since her breakout hit “Water” transformed her into an international phenomenon. A*Pop will feature already-released singles including “Chanel,” the Zara Larsson-assisted “She Did It Again,” and “Is It Love,” alongside fresh material like “Fairytales,” “That Girl,” “Mr Nonchalant,” and “Kiss.” Additional tracks rounding out the album include “Hot Tubs,” “Feel Something,” “Double Blind,” “Right Now,” “I Don’t Care,” and “Crazy Of Me.”
According to Tyla, A*Pop represents a bold evolution in her artistry—a project that fuses amapiano, Afropop, R&B, and contemporary pop into a cohesive sonic statement. The album title itself suggests a reimagining of pop music through an African lens, positioning Tyla as not just a participant in global music conversations but as someone actively reshaping them. For an artist who’s already secured a Grammy and established herself as one of Africa’s biggest international exports, this sophomore effort could solidify her position at the forefront of the continent’s musical revolution.
With less than two months until release, the excitement is palpable. Tyla’s ability to balance commercial appeal with authentic African sounds has made her a blueprint for the new generation of crossover artists, and A*Pop looks poised to raise the bar even higher.
