Tyla is no longer just that South Africa’s breakout darling, she is a certified global pop star. Ahead of her highly anticipated A*POP project, her new single IS IT LOVE emerges and it functions as a top quality record, for its vocal texture and emotional timing. It’s the kind of track that strips away the energetic pressure and forces you to just sit with the feeling.
The production here is remarkably fluid. Instead of leaning heavily on the frantic, speaker-shaking log drums, the instrumental settles into a sleek, mid-tempo Afro-pop pocket. The beats are airy and spacious, giving Tyla’s signature falsetto and warm, conversational delivery plenty of room to breathe. The mix feels pristine and expensive, making it an instant staple for late-night drives.
Lyrically, Tyla is diving deep into the anxieties of modern romance. The song is a vulnerable, rhythmic interrogation of a partner’s true intentions, floating seamlessly between emotional questions and absolute submission. She shuns the overused tropes of standard pop hooks, choosing instead a smooth, addictive melody that stays stuck in your head long after the track ends. It’s proof that her pen is evolving just as fast as her global profile.
