I’m slowly waiting for Tyla to morph into Rihanna.

South African sensation Tyla is officially stepping into her next era. The Grammy-winning artist just announced her upcoming mixtape titled We Wanna Party — slated to drop Summer 2025 — and kicked off the rollout with a brand-new single today, “IS IT.” The track, which features sultry vocals and dance elements, feels tailor-made for rooftop parties.

The mixtape marks Tyla’s first major release since her 2024 self-titled debut album, which featured the global smash “Water” and helped cement her as one of music’s most promising breakout stars. With co-signs from artists like Chris Brown and Tems, and a sound that fluidly bridges Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, Tyla’s ascent has been both organic and unstoppable.

While details on We Wanna Party are still under wraps, “IS IT” offers a taste of what’s to come — an elevated, groove-heavy sound that feels more polished and playful than ever. Regardless, we’re excited to see what she does next.
