Tyla, hailing from the vibrant landscapes of South Africa, graced The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night. It was nothing short of spectacular, with her performance of “Art.” This track, a gem from her self-titled debut album released just a month ago, was brought to life with the energy of a dynamic troupe of dancers. Oh, and let me tell ya, it was a sight to behold.
Fresh off the heels of a Grammy win for Best African Music Performance—a first in the category’s history—Tyla’s been on an absolute roll. Not too long ago, she dazzled us with her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. There, she performed “Water,” a song that not only captured hearts but also snagged that Grammy. And guess what? Last month, she dropped a remix of “Water” featuring none other than Travis Scott. Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the video’s a must-watch.
But hey, let’s not forget the visual feast she served on Colbert’s stage. It’s one thing to hear about it, but trust me, seeing it is a whole other experience. If you missed out, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s not just a performance; it’s a statement, a blend of R&B and amapiano that’s as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot summer day.
In the whirlwind of album promotions and accolades, Tyla’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. From her groundbreaking debut on Fallon to her Grammy victory and now, a mesmerizing performance on Colbert, she’s a force to be reckoned with. And let’s not overlook that remix with Travis Scott. If you’ve yet to see the video directed by Nabil Elderkin, you’re missing out on a piece of art that complements the song’s remix perfectly.
So, there we have it—a snippet into Tyla’s world, filled with music, dance, and a dash of unexpected collaborations. It’s a reminder of the power of art to connect, to move, and to inspire. Whether it’s through the rhythm of amapiano or the soulful depth of R&B, Tyla’s making waves, and we’re all here for the ride.
