Tyla returns with ‘Bliss’

The song is available via Epic Records

Tyla, Grammy-winning multi platinum global superstar who swept the world into the โ€œWaterโ€ with a record-setting debut campaign and album in 2024, has returned with a hot new single. โ€œBliss,โ€ produced by Nolan Lambroza, Dylan Wiggins, and NovaWav, is available now via Epic Records.

Tyla first previewed the song at the second weekend of Coachella last month, and subsequently teased the release of the song on social media, cryptically posting its steamy artwork and title. Anticipation for the singerโ€™s official return built quickly, with half-a-million followers โ€œdouble-tappingโ€ the Instagram post alone, and viral tweets with view counts in the hundreds-of-thousands dominating the airwaves. Fans can look forward to hearing the song performed at NYCโ€™s Governors Ball where Tyla will take the stage on Friday of the festival weekend.

On Monday, Tyla made her return to the Met Gala in New York City, the most prestigious fashion event and red carpet of the year. This year, she took an even larger role as a new member of the 2025 host committee. She again offered a scene-stealing moment โ€” following 2024โ€™s viral head-turning custom Balmain gown โ€” and woke up on Tuesday to see VOGUE, Harperโ€™s Bazaar, Elle and more discussing her Jacquemus gown styled by Law Roach. The dress was designed to pay tribute to the late style and Vogue icon Andrรฉ Leon Talley.

The weeks leading up to this moment have been just as eventful for Tyla. In April, she made her debut appearance at Coachella, dominating headlines as she took her self-titled debut album to the world renowned festival stage in the desert. Upon announcing her new single, Tyla revealed a collaboration with the upscale grocery brand Erewhon: the โ€œBlissโ€ smoothie. Proceeds gained from the smoothie will go towards 18twenty8, a charity focused on empowering young women in South Africa through support for education initiatives and personal development.

Her debut album, Tyla, was the highest-charting for an African female soloist in Billboard 200 history. โ€œWater,โ€ her triple-platinum superstar-turning hit, helped the singer achieve the same feat on the Billboard Hot 100.

Following her first-career Grammy victory in 2024 โ€” โ€Waterโ€ for โ€˜Best African Music Performanceโ€™ โ€” Tyla has received nods at the BET Awards, MTV VMAs, MTV Europe Awards, and a plethora of others. Most recently, at Billboard Women in Music, Tyla was the Impact Award honoree and performed the chart-topping single from her Tyla+ deluxe album, โ€œPush 2 Start.โ€ In conversation with Billboard, Tyla gave fans a taste of whatโ€™s to come from her second go-round.
