New A‑POP Release Date

Tyla said Wednesday that her second album, *A*POP*, will be released on July 24. (tylaworld.com) The release date appeared on Tyla’s official site with a pre-save link and an album trailer. Yahoo’s report on the rollout said the announcement landed on April 22 and listed a 14-track album. (tylaworld.com) (yahoo.com) The album is the follow-up to Tyla’s self-titled debut, *TYLA*, which her official site says was released in March 2024. Her site also says the deluxe edition, *TYLA+*, followed in October 2024 and included “Push 2 Start.” (tylaworld.com) Tyla had been talking about *A-Pop* for months before putting a date on it. In a February 2 interview with *Rolling Stone*, she said she had started working on the record in 2025 and felt more settled about “what I want to do” on the second album. (rollingstone.com) That interview ran the same week Tyla won Best African Music Performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards for “Push 2 Start,” her second Grammy in that category after “Water” won in 2024. The Grammy win gave the album campaign a new marker before Wednesday’s release-date post. (rollingstone.com) Her official biography frames the new project after a breakout run powered by “Water,” which it says became the first Spotify song by an African artist to pass one billion streams. The same page says *TYLA* reached the Billboard 200 and produced 12 singles on the U.S. Afrobeats chart. (tylaworld.com) The new album is also arriving in the middle of a busy live schedule. Tyla’s site lists festival dates in Portugal on July 3, Switzerland on July 8, Romania on July 12, and Italy on July 17, all in the weeks before the July 24 release. (tylaworld.com) For now, the clearest fact is the one fans had been waiting on: *A*POP* has a date, and Tyla’s next album cycle now runs straight into late July. (tylaworld.com)
