In the past few days, Tyla has shifted from breakout star to architect of her own global pop era, stacking music, touring power moves, and even pointed social commentary into a concentrated burst of headline activity. Music In Africa reports that she has just released a new single, Is It Love, positioned as the emotional bridge into her forthcoming second studio album, titled A*POP, which is expected later this year and is being framed as a defining statement in her evolution from viral hitmaker to cornerstone of a new African-led pop sound. Social clips shared by outlets like NotJustOk and fan accounts show Tyla in New York City doing high-visibility promo appearances directly tied to the A*POP announcement, reinforcing that this rollout is being treated like a major global campaign rather than a niche project. On Instagram, music pages and fan channels highlight her performing Is It Love live, including a buzzy set in Ibiza where, according to one widely shared post, she is introduced as the Amapiano Queen returning to claim her throne, with July 24 named as the date A*POP will be unleashed, a detail that, while heavily repeated, should be treated as subject to the usual industry timing shifts until confirmed by her label. Multiple music news and fan platforms also report that Tyla has dropped the official Is It Love music video, with commentary emphasizing that she is refining rather than abandoning the sonic palette that made Water a global hit, suggesting a strategic bet on continuity to build a long-term catalog rather than chasing trend-hopping reinventions. On the touring front, Shakira has officially announced Tyla as a special guest for the U.S. leg of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, as shared by Shakira’s camp and amplified by SCORCH Radio and African Folder, placing Tyla on arena stages across America in early 2025 and locking in a career-defining co-sign that could shape her trajectory for years. Adding to her World Cup narrative, social posts from outlets like 7Second Riddles recap that she recently performed at the World Cup opener in Mexico City and again in Los Angeles alongside Future, fueling ongoing viral chatter about their onstage chemistry, while a TikTok fan clip claiming FIFA has tapped her to sing the South African national anthem at the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony remains unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation until an official FIFA or federation statement appears. Perhaps most biographically significant beyond the music itself, South African outlet Citizen Outlook and viral Instagram posts report that Tyla has publicly called for an end to the crackdown on African immigrants in South Africa, urging unity and recounting how she was treated like a queen in Nigeria, a stance that begins to carve out her identity as an artist willing to engage social issues, not just charts. That mix of artistic ambition, global touring alliances, World Cup visibility, and emerging political voice is what makes this week a major chapter in the ongoing Tyla story.
