This guide covers every real Tyla project, in order, with the tracks and milestones that made each one matter.
Tyla (2023): The EP That Started Everything
Tyla released her self titled debut EP on December 1, 2023, featuring “Truth or Dare,” “On and On,” “Butterflies” and a Travis Scott remix of “Water.” This 4 track project arrived just before her full studio album and gave listeners an early version of the sound she would build on. 3 of its songs, “Water,” “Truth or Dare” and “Butterflies,” later carried straight into her debut album’s final tracklist.
TYLA (2024): Her Grammy Winning Debut Album
Tyla released her self titled debut studio album on March 22, 2024, through FAX and Epic Records, blending amapiano, pop, Afrobeats and R&B. She spent over 2 years recording it across 7 countries. The album debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and reached number 1 in Tunisia and Papua New Guinea.
“Water” led the album and became Tyla’s global breakthrough. The song reached the top 10 in multiple countries, earned multi platinum certifications, and made Tyla the first solo South African artist to enter the Hot 100 since Hugh Masekela in 1968. It also won Best African Music Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards, the category’s first ever winner.
The album carried 3 more singles: “Truth or Dare,” “Art” and “Jump,” each earning gold certification or stronger. Guests across the project included a feature from fellow African star Tems on “No.1,” alongside Kelvin Momo, Becky G, Gunna and Travis Scott. TYLA went on to win Newcomer of the Year, Best Pop Album and Female Artist of the Year at the South African Music Awards.
TYLA+ (2024): The Deluxe Edition That Added a Second Grammy
The Tyla released the deluxe edition of her debut album, titled TYLA+, on October 11, 2024, adding 3 new tracks: “Push 2 Start,” “Shake Ah” and “Back to You.” The deluxe edition debuted at number 11 on the Billboard World Albums chart and earned gold certification in Norway.
“Push 2 Start” became the standout addition. It gave Tyla her second Hot 100 entry as a solo artist, spread through TikTok dance challenges worldwide, and later earned a Sean Paul remix. At the 68th Grammy Awards, “Push 2 Start” won Best African Music Performance again, making Tyla the only artist to win that category twice.
WWP (2025): Her Party Focused Second EP
Tyla released her second EP, WWP, or We Wanna Party, on July 25, 2025, featuring “Dynamite” with Wizkid, “Mr. Media,” “Is It” and “Bliss.” The project pulled inspiration from South African party chants and leaned into a lighter, dance floor focused side of her sound. “Is It” topped the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart and reached number 7 in South Africa, while “Bliss” marked her first solo single since the debut album.
A*Pop (2026): Her Sophomore Album Arrives This Month
Tyla’s sophomore studio album, A*Pop, arrives on July 24, built around lead singles “Chanel,” “Is It Love” and “She Did It Again” featuring Zara Larsson. The tracklist brings a guest list that includes Kehlani, Cardi B, Wizkid and Zara Larsson. Tyla described the album as a step past her breakout sound, saying she is now 24 with new things to say.
