The song that captured the world

Tyla’s Chanel, released in late October 2025, is one of her standout tracks. The song showcases the young singer’s signature blend of amapiano rhythms, silky vocals, and R&B undertones. Featuring the catchy lyricism and atmospheric production that have become her trademarks, Chanel reflects Tyla’s ability to merge South African soundscapes with international appeal.

Chanel, the concept of which Tyla was accused of stealing, cemented her status as more than a one-hit wonder, earning her praise for consistency, artistic evolution, and an effortlessly cool aesthetic. Her music, often described as a fusion of amapiano and pop-soul, has positioned her among Africa’s new generation of global music exports.
