Following the global acclaim of her Grammy-winning single “Water”, South African pop sensation Tyla is back with her vibrant four-track EP WWP (We Wanna Party). The release showcases her unique ability to blend Amapiano, Afrobeats, R&B, and pop into a sound that’s unapologetically fun and globally appealing.
WWP features previously released singles Bliss and Is It, along with new tracks Mr. Media and Dynamite featuring Nigerian superstar Wizkid. Each song reinforces Tyla’s position as one of the most exciting contemporary voices in African music.
The EP’s title is inspired by a South African chant celebrating carefree enjoyment, which Tyla describes as “enjoyment with people that are a vibe.” The four tracks range from flirtatious fun to bold self-expression, all polished with production from P.Priime, Sammy Soso, and Ari PenSmith.
Lead single Bliss, which premiered at Coachella, delivers a feel-good energy layered over bouncing percussion. Is It takes a bolder turn with lyrics like “Is it the fvcks that I don’t give?”, sparking viral dance trends across social media.
The standout track, Dynamite featuring Wizkid, is a masterclass in Afro-fusion. Originally from a 2022 demo, Tyla’s hook “Your body bang like dynamite” is irresistibly catchy, while Wizkid’s smooth delivery adds global Afrobeats flair, making the track a playlist favorite.
Closing track Mr. Media sees Tyla addressing critics head-on, showcasing her lyrical confidence and versatility. Across the EP, she balances empowerment, enjoyment, and musical innovation with ease.
With WWP, Tyla delivers a concise, infectious project that highlights her evolution as a global pop and Afrobeats powerhouse, reinforcing her place at the forefront of contemporary African music.
