Tyla's 'Tyla' Review
with your body is like watching a streetcorner shell game, or playing tennis with a rogue ball launcher — more surprising, sexy, and fun than standard 4/4 club bangers. South Africa’s signature groove for roughly a decade, the Soweto-bred slowed-down house music hybrid swiftly went pan-African because Afrobeat-niks, in Nigeria and elsewhere, know rhythm-magic when they hear it.
The pillow talk is most potent when other elements help heat things up. Cue the frequent, energizing appearances by stacked vocal choirs, often echoing the choral call-and-response of old-school Afrobeat and Afropop.
Elsewhere, the record coasts safely on its vibes, lovely though they are. On “Priorities,” Tyla sings figuratively about spreading herself thin while her delivery demonstrates it over ghostly highlife guitar. It illustrates the perpetual challenge of turning dance music euphoria into pop euphoria — one plenty of young artists seem to be engaging with fruitfully post-pandemic, after the months we all spent lockdown-clubbing in our living rooms.
