Tyla Releases 14-Track A*Pop as Global Pop Push Continues

The release leverages World Cup exposure and recent Grammy wins to deepen her international pop reach.

Overview

  • A*Pop, which arrived Friday, July 24, 2026, is a 14-track sophomore album that builds on months of singles-led promotion and streaming rollout.
  • The record includes collaborations with Zara Larsson, Liquideep, MaWhoo and Babalwa M and credits uncredited background vocals from PartyNextDoor.
  • Tyla promoted the album on NBC’s Today, where she performed “Is It Love,” discussed wanting to “honor my inner child,” and explained the A*Pop concept as bringing the “A” to pop.
  • Coverage so far praises the album’s production and its catchier singles such as “Is It,” “Chanel,” and “She Did It Again,” while at least one prominent review called the project polished but artistically cautious.
  • The release follows high‑visibility moments this year — a FIFA World Cup opening ceremony performance with Future and two Grammys — a sequence that should boost streaming and global profile even as some critics press for bolder artistic moves.
