Inside Tyla’s ‘A*Pop’: How the Global Star Is Redefining Her Sound This July

The 14-track album includes the singles “Chanel” and “She Did It Again,” with collaborations from Zara Larsson, Ayra Starr, Sean Paul and Wizkid.

  • On Wednesday, April 22, South African pop star Tyla announced her sophomore album, A*POP, arriving July 24. She shared a trailer featuring high-energy beats and bold outfits to tease the project.
  • Tyla explained that while her 2024 debut felt like a 'rush,' this album developed naturally. "So now that I'm settled in, I feel like I know more about my direction and what I want to do," she said in February.
  • Sony PicturesExpect A*POP to continue the singer's signature 'popiano' sound, blending pop, R&B, and South African amapiano. Fans can pre-save the 14-track project on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
  • The album features a collaboration with Zara Larsson on "She Did It Again," released April 17. The trailer markets the new era as "African. Unapologetic. Confident."
  • Describing the upcoming release as 'evolved,' Tyla noted she is 'bringing a lot of my roots into my music.' This follows her 2024 debut and 2025 EP, WWP.
