Tyla has revealed the tracklist to her upcoming eponymous debut studio album, which features collaborations with Travis Scott, Gunna, and several more noteworthy artists. Scott is set to appear on a remix of her breakthrough hit single, "Water," to close out the project. The original version of "Water" was the first song by a South African solo artist to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years when it dropped, last year. The track netted her the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in 2024.
Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2023, she said of the track: “As soon as I heard ‘Water,’ I said, ‘It’s over.’ We have the song. I would describe ‘Water’ as the song of the year … it’s the sound of Africa. It’s not only for Africa, but it’s for the world … It’s literally me bringing Africa to the world.”
