Fresh off the global success of her Grammy-winning single Water, South African pop sensation Tyla returns with a powerful new statement — her four-track EP WWP (We Wanna Party).

Blending Amapiano, Afrobeats, R&B, and mainstream pop, WWP is a vibrant celebration of Tyla’s South African roots and her bold stride toward global superstardom. Featuring the previously released singles Bliss, Is It, and new additions Mr. Media and Dynamite (featuring Nigerian superstar Wizkid), the project cements Tyla’s position as one of the most exciting voices redefining contemporary African music.

Titled after a South African chant that reflects a spirit of carefree celebration, WWP captures what Tyla describes as “enjoyment with people that are a vibe.” From sultry defiance to flirtatious fun, each track is laced with infectious energy and polished production courtesy of hitmakers P.Priime, Sammy Soso, and Ari PenSmith.

Lead singles Bliss and Is It set the tone for the project’s infectious sound. Bliss, which premiered at Coachella, pulses with feel-good energy and bouncing percussion, while Is It cuts sharper with bold lyrics like “Is it the fvcks that I don’t give?” Both songs have already sparked viral dance challenges, proving Tyla’s unique ability to fuse music with cultural moments.

The standout collaboration, “Dynamite” featuring Wizkid, ignites with flirtatious chemistry and Afro-fusion finesse. Originally born from a 2022 demo Tyla unearthed, the track finds her singing “Your body bang like dynamite” in a hook destined to dominate playlists. Wizkid’s effortless flow and global Afrobeats gravitas take the track to new heights, delivering a magnetic back-and-forth that’s equal parts seductive and celebratory.

Mr. Media sees Tyla confronting her critics head-on, showcasing her versatility and lyrical edge. It’s a powerful closer that reaffirms her fearless voice in the spotlight, wrapping up an EP that balances empowerment, enjoyment, and genre innovation.

WWP (We Wanna Party) is more than a musical project — it’s a declaration of Tyla’s expanding global impact and an ode to the cultural vibrancy of her home continent
