I'm 72 and started singing professionally when I was 16. I am a HUGE Tyla fan! I NEVER get bored watching this amazing young talent. She is just the right combination of talent, humbleness, confidence, beauty, innocence, charisma and charm. Watching and hearing her makes me really proud to be a senior TYGA!! LOL!! Keep letting your light shine young lady. Please keep doing what God put you hear to do!!! Much love and respect to you!! ❤

Amapiano is gonna be the next biggest thing in the market. Shout out to South Africa!

[@sjoo8]

So many artists are reworking their albums as we write this I bet 😂.

[@DidyalllikemyvocalssingingHeat]

In South Africa, I'm sure. However, it's not something that will pop off into every song on most people's albums, cuase it starts to all sound the same. We like it here, cause it's "different". It needs to remain sepcial in that way. Ironically, that's the way it got popular, and the way it will stay popular.

[@lawsonkitty3747]

South africans are fine?😢

[@DidyalllikemyvocalssingingHeat]

Everything you think is fine about her is native to WAY more than South Africa. Her most dominant features are Indian. She's beautiful, yes. She's South African, yes. But, if you want to talk about the part of her appearance that represents South Africa, it'd make more sense to talk about how she dresses and carries herself, then how her body is built.

I agree that 'Truth or Dare' is too obvious but I personally would pick 'To Last' or 'Priorities' for a song to send to an ex. 'Butterflies' sounds more like a song for a current crush that an ex in my opinion.

​@@dehjhunaeday5743she's black according to this network. If you look at all the thumbnails for each video, you see a black person on it, obviously people see her as black if she's on bet network. Plus if she not black, why nobody complaining about her cornrows, braids and other black hair styles?

[@iluvbwx]

@@themadman6667 Those hairstyles are common for coloured people to wear in South Africa so it’s not cultural appropriation. She’s not black and marketing her as a black woman takes opportunities away from actual black women to be noticed for their creativity and talent.

[@accountretired9479]

@@iluvbwx oh it is still appropriation and especially since coloureds don't even like black people yet you don't have a problem with using our music and styles, what happened to ''coloured culture'' or style or music?. is your own culture and music not good enough that you have to use that of those you dislike?

[@themadman6667]

@@iluvbwx the hairstyles were created by black women though. How is it her culture if she isn't black? Also your logic doesn't apply to white South Africans either because I know for a fact everyone would complain very often if tyla was white wearing those hairstyles.

[@DidyalllikemyvocalssingingHeat]

She is TOO funny for that intro. Honestly, I appreciate the concept, but would have fit better as an "outro".

[@TheJakes2009]

What Tyla currently is doing is not amapiano. It's more afrobeats which is NOT amapiano. It's most probably a label decision on the sound of her album as Americans don't know the amapiano sound that well.

[@chuck-cx1qd]

There's songs that's are amapiano there and not afrobeat but afro pop

[@TheJakes2009]

@@chuck-cx1qd Which ones on the album are amapiano ?There is barely a log drum on any of them which is one of the defining elements of amapiano.

[@sportsnumber1567]

@@TheJakes2009 To Last and the Intro are pure Amapiano. The majority are an infusion of Afrobeat with Pop and R&B and then a logdrum ( but not in a way South Africans use it). She is basically doing Afropop in the grand scheme of things.
