"New album. I've changed a lot in a short amount of time because I was kind of forced to with how fast I had to adapt to everything. I don't think it's going to be the same energy [as Tyla] at all, especially with what I've started making. It's different, but also still Tyla."
Her fanpage @chartstyla shared the news on X and sparked a wave of different reactions.
Her first project placed her in the spotlight and has helped her scoop numerous accolades. Her smash hit Water was the very first song by a solo artist in Mzansi to make the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years. She also won a Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in 2024.
Tyla then went on to win even more awards including an MTV Video Music Award for Best Afrobeats Video, a Billboard Music Award for Top Afrobeats Artist, as well as a BET Award for Best New Artist.
Just recently, Tyla was crowned the World Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
