Grammy-winning global superstar Tyla has returned with her latest single, “Chanel,” a high-fashion anthem that reinforces her status as a pioneer of the Amapiano-pop fusion. Released via Epic Records, the track features crisp, skittering production from Ian Kirkpatrick and P2J, luring listeners to the dancefloor with a hypnotic hook that serves as a metaphor for love and value. The accompanying music video, directed by Aerin Moreno and styled by Ron Hartleben, is a masterclass in elegance, featuring vintage Chanel pieces and precise choreography. Following her appearance on Cardi B’s ‘Nice Guy’ and her collaboration with Wizkid on “Dynamite,” this release marks a confident next step in Tyla’s publicized return to the studio.
“Chanel” follows the July release of Tyla’s first-ever mixtape, ‘WWP’ (We Wanna Party), a four-track project that bridged the gap between her self-titled debut and her upcoming full-length LP. The mixtape spawned the summer anthem “Is It,” which amassed over 20 million views, and established a transitional sound that Tyla describes as “summer-banger worthy.” The singer has remained highly active on the feature circuit, recently linking up with Ghanaian artist Moliy for the track “Body Go.” By centering the empowerment of women and honoring her South African roots, Tyla continues to redefine the global pop landscape with a factual commitment to her unique “Tiger” aesthetic.
The release arrives just as Tyla wraps up the initial leg of her headline ‘We Wanna Party Tour’, which saw her perform to sold-out crowds across Asia throughout late 2025. With a setlist featuring new favorites like “Push 2 Start” alongside the multi-platinum hit “Water,” the tour solidified her presence in major markets like Tokyo, Manila, and Singapore. As she enters 2026, Tyla’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down, with “Chanel” currently climbing the global charts and her publicized studio sessions promising more innovative sounds in the coming months.
