Tyla's A*Pop: A Bold Statement or Overconfident?
24 Jul
Summary
- Tyla's second album, A*Pop, features a mix of genres and moods.
- The album has 14 songs, with some tracks being stronger than others.
- Critics compare Tyla's diverse sound and appeal to Rihanna.

Twenty-four-year-old South African artist Tyla has released her second album, "A*Pop." The record is characterized by its "outsized mix of sun, sex and sultriness," aiming to evoke a sense of carefree times.
Tyla demonstrates a knack for genre-bending, drawing comparisons to Rihanna. Her distinctive voice adapts to various moods, from the powerful delivery on "Is It Love" to the smooth fusion of R&B, amapiano, and pop on "Chanel."
While "A*Pop" is considered a bold statement, its 14-song tracklist and focus on love's emotional spectrum lead to some overconfidence, with certain tracks like "Hot Tubs" and "Fairytale" being less compelling.
