Tyla Features On Summer Walker’s “Girls Need Love Too” Remix. 21-year-old Tyla is on a mission. Championing the Johannesburg music scene with her ethereal flow and Pop-tinged take on the rapidly rising South African dance genre, Amapiano, the music riser is making her presence known. With a debut EP on the way dedicated to further bridging the gap between her native music scene and the rest of the world, Tyla is the face of South Africa’s global takeover.

However, the singer will be remixing the song with two female artists.Taking to social media, she announced that the South African fast-rising star, Tyla and Victoria Monet are on the song.“Last day of summer is officially platinum and to thank you, guys, after 5 years of loving this project, I’m releasing new Girls Need Love Remixes Friday…@champagnepapi blessed this song 5 years ago but GIRLS NEED LOVE TOO @victoriamonet @official__tink @tyla,” Walker wrote.
Introducing a rising genre to new audiences is no easy feat. But 21-year-old Tyla – aka Tyla Laura Seethal – is giving it a try. “So I do make Amapiano music, but I wouldn’t say I’m an Amapiano artist,” contemplates the artist as she reflects on the South African music genre that she is bringing to promi-nence. Growing roots in South Africa during the mid 2010s, the genre is a melting pot of Deep House, Jazz and Lounge, which marry in symphonic har-mony, characterised by distinctive sounds packed with signature vibrating synths and wide percussive baselines. “It’s definitely new for the Western world. But I mean, it’s been around for so long in South Af-rica. We’ve been partying to this genre. It’s been a part of our culture for a long time. So naturally, I fell into it. I wanted to explore it as well as put my own spin on it. That’s why I make it a bit more Pop-y.”
