Following her win at the Grammy’s early this year, South African musician Tyla shared a video on social media in which she gives Blackpink superstar Lisa a “first listen” of one of the tracks off the upcoming project, titled A.R.T.
Named one of Billboard‘s R&B/Hip-Hop Artists to Watch in 2024, the 22-year-old’s eponymous album will feature 14 tracks, including “Water” and the anthem’s Travis Scott-assisted remix.
Earlier this month, Tyla announced that she was canceling her North American and Europe tour dates and pulling out of a handful of festivals, including Coachella, due to a worsening unamed injury.
“As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, it’s important that I share what I have to share with you today,” she wrote.
“For the past year, I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened.
“I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation.
“I am absolutely heartbroken to have to say this but as of right now I won’t be able to proceed with the tour.
“In consulting with medical professionals, it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.”
Tyla’s highly anticipated debut LP is slated to release on March 22.
