In her recent Instagram post she wrote, “Everything that’s happening has surpassed anything I could have dreamt of. African music is going global and I’m so blessed to be one of the artists pushing the culture.”
And other artists jumped into the comment section such as Bia saying, “GO TYLA 😍🔥🔥 “
Plus, singer and actor Trevor Jackson slid in with three flames in the comments!
Remember people online were eating him up for his viral remake of ‘Water?’
“I’ve been working on my sound for 2 years now and I’m so ready for the world to hear it,” Tyla said.
“I cannot wait for the world to experience an African popstar,” she added.
Her album is set to release on March 1, 2024.
