This was a interview! He did his research. Well done joh!!!

[@Nkateko-xf6cf]

Ekse, I was just saying this now! He did his homework

[@Nkateko-xf6cf]

I wanna give a major shout out to the interviewer bc his questions were well researched, well put together and quite open-ended. He didnt ask too many of the generic questions Tyla has already answered 100 times over.

[@divinelyguid333d]

I agree!!!

[@RafaelNguyenAlvarez12]

Tyla's debut album deserves more recognition. She's a great singer and dancer.

[@itsfelicia]

It's coming. More people are being exposed to her. I honestly just listened to Water in full this week (after hearing snippets on reels). I have downloaded her album to my playlist and have listened to it at least 7 times since yesterday. She is such a vibe!

[@channel_x_8]

We see Tyla thumbnail we click. thats the new meta🔥🔥❤❤LOVE U TYLA

[@aminata3702]

Ayra better

[@TechWizz]

This interviewer did his homework. Great vibe and Tyla was quite poised.

songs like the best song ive ever heard in my life

[@ahmedshariff9233]

TYLA IS QUEEN AND NO ONE IS TELLING ME OTHERWISE

Yeah I'm happy for her but SPICE....a Jamaican artist has been putting in major work over the years and here she come and win a Grammy like what...

@@roralojane I'm not comparing them honestly there is no comparison to spice I'm js think about it...Spice has been in the game for years killing it and tyla come out with one song and all of a sudden she's hot ....I'm js some deserve more flowers than others.....the hard work is just undeniable when it comes to my girl spice...I want her to win like she deserves too..

[@britneywilliams5972]

As both being carribbean artist..

[@jonasluva456]

She’s an engineerrrr girly is SMART and she lowkey don’t need this life so she got a back up that’s what everyone should do!

[@PurpleRegina]

Yes, ‘cause the industry can be scary

[@StaceyMaGroov]

She said she would've been an engineer. She isn't an engineer. But she is Intelligent

[@matomem]

Fact check. She was accepted, but the never enrolled in university. She didn't ever fetch her matric certificate.

[@roseakpan8883]

Art is quintessentially Tyla. That track epitomises Tyla. Vocal aspirations all over the track, the melody (that sultry, sexy rhythm), her knowing that she is a beautiful woman and not being afraid to show it “…..if you show me off, I’ll be your piece”. Tyla is special and I hope and pray she is here for a very long time

[@jonasluva456]

who else is mad that Been Thinking didn’t make the cut?! 😢😢😭

[@MarkTaylor_]

its not good enough for that Album ❤

[@SAMUELBELA]

Same with Girl next door

[@jonasluva456]

@@SAMUELBELA I don’t care for that song. Been Thinking was really good and so was the music video so yeah I do think it should’ve been on the album. It’s inconvenient to have to search for it aside from the album 😂 when i just wanna listen to the album

[@ashanajzaa]

LEGEND MATERIAL

[@rebeccaayen7859]

I just love the way she’s just African, like look at her hair, no stressing herself with heavy wigs which may cause her discomfort like feeling hot, itchy wanting to scrunch or hit the head like come on she’s just so free❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mimi_gacha2.0]

That's south African/african for you

[@Fueunachimba]

Agreed, it’s beautiful

[@bonitakourtney8544]

It seems like ur just naming stereotypes…

[@SparkleInYourEyes2024]

​@@bonitakourtney8544It's facts, though. Stop being so triggered by the truth.

[@user-fs4wo6lb6m]

She's coloured so she has a long hair,u wont expect other real african with their hair not to wear wigs

[@alexiswillie]

This interviewer was GREAT. He clearly did his homework and his transitions were smooth and he was clearly prepared 👏🏽

[@jonasluva456]

I love her mom lol “sway those hips girl” 😂❤

I love you Tylaaa So talented and beautiful ❤

[@philippinepalestra]

Watching this is confusing. I don't know what to focus on: how she articulates her intelligence or how her beauty outshines the sun. It's mind-boggling and overwhelming but I'll finish watching this interview, as if it's the last video I'll ever watch in my life.

[@InayahBlack]

Go Tyla and big shout out to Dometi Pongo for his clean, informed and light-hearted interviewing!

[@saraxluna9280]

I like the fact that he asked her to say, it's like you have won before, the way she spoke on the Grammys,well tyla is talented no doubt but the music industry has people saling their souls and buying people for fame,it's all staged period,they told her to practice how she will talk.
