On her new four-track drop WWP, the South African global star Tyla leans into euphoria, ditching introspection in favor of sultry rhythms, brash confidence, and that magnetic amapiano bounce she’s mastered.

Opening with “Dynamite,” her long-awaited duet with Wizkid, Tyla crafts a heatwave of chemistry. The P.Priime-produced track melds sensuality with restraint — each breathy note and syncopated beat dripping with slow-burn seduction. The two artists mirror each other in tone and tempo, giving the song the feel of a conversation between seasoned lovers and late-night dancers.

“Mr Media” adds a hint of self-awareness, as Tyla sighs through the scrutiny of fame with a laid-back shrug: “No matter how hard I try / I can never get it right.” It’s not defiant, but it is unbothered, the soundtrack to someone who’s learned to smile while dodging the flashbulbs. The live chant of “Woza” only amplifies her power, making it easy to picture her commanding stages from Cape Town to Coachella.

Then come the pre-release singles: “Is It,” a playful, percussive flirtation that refuses to take anything too seriously, and “Bliss,” which strikes a delicate balance between yearning and movement. Even when the world’s on fire in its music video, Tyla keeps dancing, a metaphor, perhaps, for her career thus far: intense, dazzling, and always in motion.

If 2023’s “Water” was her tidal wave, WWP is the pool party after the storm. It doesn’t aim to redefine her — it reaffirms her. The project may be brief, but it’s purposeful: a concentrated burst of rhythm and radiance from one of the most exciting voices in global pop right now.
