Tyla's ‘Is It' is the catchy new single ready to dominate European summer playlists
After previously teasing a snippet of the single on her social media, the chart-topping artist has officially shared the link to pre-save her highly anticipated song 'Is It'.
The upcoming track is already a hit on TikTok, with fans using it as a sound for their content. The track truly portrays her versatility and her energetic sound. Without skipping a beat, Tyla is building on the success of her previous hit 'Bliss', which she released in May.
'Is It' is already a hype on social media, with her international fans dubbing it as the 'song of the summer'.
While it may be winter in South Africa, Tyla's global fanbase is basking in the warmth of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, where she is currently based. Her music transcends seasons and borders, and her South African fans will get to enjoy the summer vibes too, even in winter.
It features Tyla's signature blend of Afro-pop and R&B, with a hint of experimental production. The 23-year-old singer's ability to blend genres and experiment with different styles proves that 'Is It' is expected to be yet another standout track in her discography.
As she continues to push boundaries and explore new sounds, Tyla's music remains true to her artistic vision. With her recent contribution to the "Smurfs" movie soundtrack with 'Everything Goes With Blue', Tyla has proven her versatility and range.

Additionally, the phrase 'tylawewannaparty' has been all over the 'Push 2 Start' singer's social media. She also made the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards audience chant it as she played a snippet of the upcoming single during the awards ceremony.
One fan pointed out that the phrase could be Tyla's hint at a new album, as 'Is It' will be her second single to drop this year.
TikTok user @teaonperiod asked: 'Also, doesn't anyone realise that Tyla is hinting at a new album called 'We Wanna Party' and in her last post, she said it is coming sooner than you think???'
