Global breakout star Tyla has just dropped the highly-anticipated video for “Push 2 Start,” the latest single added to her re-released debut album, Tyla+.
In a playful, high-energy visual directed by Aerin Moreno, Tyla takes over a car wash with her crew, infusing a sense of fun and liberation as they dance on, between, and around freshly polished sports cars. The video embraces a lively mix of sensuality and freedom, with Tyla and her friends getting soapy and even throwing in some “booty buffing” as they bring the Amapiano-inspired track to life. The clip concludes with a nod to Tyla’s Indian roots, as the scene transforms into a vibrant homage to Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, replacing traditional colored powder with spray paint for a contemporary twist.
This deluxe release, Tyla+, caps off a monumental 2024 for Tyla. Despite the disappointment of canceling her first headlining U.S. tour, she has soared to new heights, launching her debut album, collaborating with global icons like Becky G and Travis Scott, and stealing the spotlight with show-stopping performances at the BET Awards and MTV VMAs. Her recent Grammy acknowledgment further underscores her global impact and solidifies her place as a rising star representing South African music on the international stage.
The song “Push 2 Start” is one of three fresh tracks added to Tyla+, and this rhythmic Amapiano bop is the first to receive a music video. With lyrics that draw clever automobile references, Tyla takes viewers on an unforgettable ride with this visual feast of style, energy, and cultural pride.
