Tyla Cites Tems as Musical Inspiration.
Grammy Award-winning South African artist Tyla has publicly acknowledged Nigerian R&B sensation Tems as a significant influence on her musical style and career aspirations.
In a recent interview with Billboard, the “Water” vocalist highlighted Tems’ accomplishments as a source of inspiration, stating, “Tems is a big one. What she’s been able to do has been very inspiring.” Tyla also noted Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, and Aaliyah among her other musical influences.
This revelation comes ahead of the anticipated release of Tyla’s sophomore album, scheduled for later this year. The singer has hinted at a departure from the sonic landscape established in her self-titled debut, promising a distinct and evolved sound.
