South African sensation Tyla releases a fun new album titled “KISS”, taken from his second CD A*POP.

Tyla – KISS is part of a 14-track album out July 24 and features songs including “That Girl,” “Is It Love” and “Chanel.” Tyla has turned to pop territory in this album cycle while staying true to her South African roots. So “KISS” is another element of that larger, more mature sonic picture.

The production embraces refined and current pop instruments, built with radio appeal in mind. There is no rush, no crowding here. The arrangement remains uncluttered, which leaves plenty of room for Tyla’s vocal tone to convey the song’s flirtatious spirit. The song doesn’t need a detailed backstory to make its point. So even if you only listen once, you get the feeling.

Overall, “KISS” works because it fits very well into A*POP’s larger pop-forward trajectory. Nothing on the record feels like a deviation from what Tyla is developing in this era. The uniformity helps give the record a cohesive feel.
