Tyla Sets July 24 Release for Sophomore Album 'A*POP'

The project presents her amapiano‑pop fusion as a bold global statement of identity.

Overview

  • Tyla, who unveiled a stylized album trailer Wednesday, cast the A*POP era as “African,” “unapologetic,” “confident” and “global.”
  • The album will feature pre‑released singles, including the amapiano‑driven “Chanel” and “She Did It Again” with Zara Larsson, with outlets also pointing to “Is It.”
  • Pre‑saves are live on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, and listings show 14 tracks, though the full tracklist has not been released.
  • The rollout pairs streaming momentum with live visibility through festival bookings in Portugal, Switzerland, Romania and Italy, plus a slot on the Today show’s Citi Concert Series.
  • Tyla enters this phase as a two‑time Grammy winner whose debut became the highest‑charting album by an African female soloist, with “Chanel” topping Billboard’s Afrobeats and Rhythmic Airplay charts.
