Meet this years Coachella sensation

Tyla Brings The South African star previewed an unnamed track during the festival’s second weekend. Tyla brought the “bliss” when she hit the stage on the first night of Coachella’s second weekend, performing a new song during her set. The South African star sat on the stairs on the stage at the fest on Friday to deliver the smoldering track, which traverses the all-encompassing desire to be near and with the person you love.

Most recently she dazzled Jimmy Fallon and his studio audience, making her American television debut performing “Water” live on The Tonight Show. It’s been a whirlwind year for the young South African star and she’s just getting started. Tyla, pronounced TIE-Luh, “grew up listening to Afrobeats, amapiano, house Kwaito and all of that,” says the singer of popular genres in her home country. “But also a lot of R&B and pop also played in my house and I looked up to a lot of R&B and pop artists.”
