Tyla’s Water Hits Major Milestone On YouTube And Billboard US Chart. 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.
The Pop-infused sound in question first graced our ears when the songstress made her debut two years ago, with the uptempo tune “Getting Late” ft. Kooldrink. Amassing 6.2M YouTube views since its release, the internet embraced Tyla with arms wide open and her debut was hailed a success.
South African singer Tyla makes another record with her hit song, Water as it rises to number one on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart.The news has left the singer speechless as she further announced another milestone for the music video of the song.
Taking to social media, the star says the video has reached 10 million views on YouTube after 12 days of premiere.“The Water MV hit 10 million views in 12 days…. Yohhh guys!!!”
Speaking about the billboard news, people flooded the star with congratulatory messages.However, it was a thing of pride for some South Africans as an Amapiano song topped Afrobeats songs chart.“Amapiano topping a Afrobeats Playlist. We here to take over. Piano to the world,” a tweep wrote.
