Wizkid joins Tyla on long-awaited track from new EP
Yes, it's official, Tyla has dropped another song from her EP, this time featuring Afrobeats superstar Wizkid from Nigeria.
Released yesterday, the song is a genre blend between Tyla's Popiano (amapiano, pop, and R&B) and Wizkid's smooth Afrobeat influence.
Tyla confirmed this collaboration back in 2022, and since then, fans have awaited this release and in July 2025, the first teaser of the song surfaced online. The TikTok clip offers a glimpse into their seamless chemistry, blending Tyla's signature sultry vocals with Wizkid's effortless Afrobeats cadence.
More recently, the track has been officially revealed as part of Tyla's four‑track EP WWP (We Wanna Party) , dropped today on 25 July 2025. The EP includes her singles Bliss , Is It , and the highly anticipated feature with Wizkid, Dynamite.
At a Berlin fan listening event in July, Tyla premiered two unreleased tracks from the EP, Dynamite and Chanel , hinting at her growing experimentation with bold pop textures and dancefloor-ready production. Some fans see the EP as a tight, energetic bridge between full-length projects and appreciate its punchiness
The collaboration promises star power with two Grammy-winning African stars uniting. Tyla is the first African solo artist to hit 1 billion Spotify streams with Water , and Wizkid, already a global Afrobeats icon.
Additionally, the cultural impact: The collaboration marks a major moment in African pop music, melding South African and Nigerian styles for a global sound.
