South African pop-amapiano sensation Tyla has officially announced that her sophomore studio album will be released in 2025. The global star revealed that she is already deep into the recording process, hinting at a fresh and unexpected musical direction. This news has sent her fans, known as Tygers, into a frenzy as they eagerly speculate about what’s next for the chart-topping artist.
Tyla’s debut album, TYLA, introduced the world to her signature blend of R&B, Afropop, and Amapiano influences. However, in a recent interview with Billboard, she confirmed that her upcoming project will take a new approach while still incorporating some familiar elements.
“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,” she shared.
This statement has fueled speculation among fans and industry insiders about what genre the album will explore. Many are wondering whether Tyla will lean further into Amapiano, experiment with Afrobeats, or embrace an even more mainstream pop sound.
With her rapid rise to international stardom, Tyla has proven her ability to transcend genres and push boundaries. Her smash hit Water propelled her to global fame, and her distinct style has resonated with audiences across multiple continents. Now, as she embarks on this next chapter, anticipation for her sophomore effort is at an all-time high.
Tyla’s decision to evolve her sound reflects the changes she has experienced in her career and personal life. As she continues to navigate her newfound fame, she remains committed to artistic growth and authenticity.
While no official release date has been confirmed, fans can expect more details in the coming months. One thing is certain—Tyla’s second album will showcase her versatility, confidence, and ability to set trends in the global music landscape.
