Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

South African pop phenomenon Tyla has been at the center of a global spotlight this past week, generating buzz across music headlines, social media, and festival stages. Just days ago, Tyla thrilled fans with the announcement of her new solo single Is It, set to release on July 11, 2025, a reveal made via an Instagram post featuring her signature glitter aesthetic and the hashtag #WEWANNAPARTY. That post quickly went viral, amassing over 418 thousand likes and thousands of comments, while fans on X declared the upcoming track the “song of the summer” and marked Tyla’s continued run as a global superstar, noting her new single is her second solo release this year after Bliss, which charted in the top 20 on major R&B and rhythmic airplay lists according to Sportskeeda.

This announcement followed a triumphant headline appearance at Poland’s Open’er Festival on July 3, where Tyla teased “new music coming very soon” and performed several hits from her self-titled debut album. As reported by NME and Vinyl Me Please, her festival set was marked by both high-energy choreography and some candid moments, including Tyla handling technical mishaps with humor and resilience, reminding the crowd to “prioritise yourself”—a message she weaved into her set as she introduced her track Priorities. The performance was not only a return to form after an injury sidelined her from last year’s festival, but also a symbolic reentry into live music’s upper echelon, with Open’er calling her “South Africa’s brightest new talent.” Major outlets have since highlighted her as a rising global force, with her debut album having gone silver in the UK, gold in the US, and earning three South African Music Awards.

Social media has been ablaze with clips from the Open’er Festival and teasers for Is It, with fans and influencers dissecting every visual, lyric snippet, and dance move. YouTube’s DropVibe even dubbed the single’s teaser “the anthem of summer 2025,” while Instagram and X buzzed with anticipation and memes about Tyla’s next era. Meanwhile, Showmax spotlighted Tyla’s recent homecoming concert as a “moment in history,” further cementing her place as an African icon making waves on the world stage. Looking ahead, Tyla’s calendar remains packed, with a performance slated for London’s All Points East festival alongside Raye and Doechii later this summer, signaling no slowdown in her meteoric trajectory.

There have been no notable controversies, but rumors abound in fan circles about further collaborations following her recent work with K-pop’s Lisa. For now, though, all eyes—and ears—are on Is It and the continued ascent of Tyla as the music industry’s main character of 2025.
