Watch Tyla Reveal Her 'A*Pop' Tracklist Using Fluorescent Spray Paint

I just got wind that Tyla, the South African singer behind the hit single "Chanel", has finally dropped the tracklist for her highly anticipated album A*Pop. And, let me tell you, it's a feast for the eyes (and ears). Tyla took to a blacklight room to reveal the 14-track album in style, using fluorescent spray paint to bring the song titles to life. It's the perfect visual representation of the album's name, a fusion of African music and pop.
Here's the thing: Tyla's APop is more than just a name; it's a movement. As she spoke to Billboard Africa earlier this year, she explained that APop is about breaking free from the constraints of traditional pop music. For her, it's about embracing the African spirit and infusing it into the pop genre. It's about being unapologetically herself, without the need for polish or perfection. And that's exactly what this album promises to deliver.
So, what can fans expect from A*Pop? Well, for starters, the album boasts previously released singles like "Chanel", "Is It", "Is It Love", and "She Did It Again" (feat. Zara Larsson). Other standout tracks include "That Girl", "Kiss", "Fairytale", "Mr. Nonchalant", and "Hot Tubs". And, if you're a fan of Tyla's earlier work, you'll be happy to know that she's still bringing the heat with her unique blend of African rhythms and pop hooks.
Tyla's A*Pop is set to drop on July 24, just a day after she unveiled the tracklist in that epic blacklight room reveal. It's the follow-up to her 2024 self-titled debut, which debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard 200. And, if the lead single "Chanel" is anything to go by, fans are in for a treat. "Chanel" arrived in October and reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100, eventually topping the Rhythmic Airplay chart in March.
As Tyla herself put it, APop is just something that came to her. It's a natural evolution of her music, and it's about time the world got to experience it. With APop, Tyla is paving the way for a new generation of African pop stars who refuse to be limited by traditional boundaries. And, if the tracklist is anything to go by, this album is going to be a wild ride.
And, that's it! Tyla's A*Pop is coming soon, and I, for one, can't wait to dive in and explore this vibrant new world of African pop. Get ready to pop out with Tyla on July 24!
