More new music coming soon
Gearing up for a major moment, African superstar singer and songwriter Tyla returns with a new single entitled “To Last” via FAX Records/Epic Records. It notably marks her first release since 2021.
The track layers a head-nodding bass line above an Amapiano-style groove. She leans into this soundscape with confessional lyrics such as “You never gave us a chance, it’s like you never wanted us to last.” Taking a left turn, the momentum spirals into a dancefloor-ready bounce uplifted by her vocal echoes.
Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the single very soon.
Last year, Tyla made waves with “Overdue” featuring DJ Lag & Kooldrink. In addition to piling up over million streams, it soundtracked the season two trailer for Netflix’s Blood and Water.
Tyla initially broke through with the 2020 smash “Getting Late” featuring Kooldrink. The track generated more than five million streams.
Growing up of Indian, Zulu, Mauritian, Irish descent, Tyla instinctively understood the power of diversity as a child in Johannesburg. She spent countless hours honing her voice at home, singing with her siblings every Sunday as part of a weekly tradition. At the same time, dad introduced her to R&B and soul, encouraging her to eventually experiment with styles and cultures. By high school, she began posting covers on Instagram before catching the attention of her creative director Garth Von Glehn. She wrote and recorded “Getting Late” with Kooldrink in 2020. Upon the video release in January 2021, it resounded around the globe, reeling in millions of views and notching tastemaker praise.
