Tyla Kicks Off 2025 With Striking New Single and Video for “Bliss”

Tyla has launched into 2025 with the release of her new single “Bliss,” accompanied by a high-energy visual directed by the renowned Director X. The Grammy-winning South African star delivers a bold performance that builds on the momentum she’s carried since her global breakout.

Set against a dramatic desert backdrop, the video features Tyla suspended in the air by a rope, blending striking choreography with stylized cinematography. As the scene builds, she dances and performs while chaos simmers in the distance—culminating in a fiery explosion she turns to face. Her camera-focused performance adds an intimate, confrontational edge to the video’s larger spectacle.

First teased during her set at Coachella, “Bliss” marks the first release from Tyla this year and hints at a shift in direction as she works on her next album. While details remain under wraps, she recently hinted that the sound will reflect recent personal and artistic changes.

Beyond the release, Tyla is maintaining a packed schedule. She’s set to host the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards on June 21 and will perform at two major U.S. festivals: Governors Ball (June 6–8) and Bonnaroo (June 12–15).

With “Bliss,” Tyla signals the beginning of a new chapter—one that promises both spectacle and transformation.
