Tyla teases new music is coming as she performs at Open'er Festival
The 23-year-old singer released her eponymous debut album last year and a new single, Bliss, in May and she's teased fans won't have to wait too long for more fresh material.
Speaking on the Orange Main Stage at Open'er Festival in Poland on Thursday (03.07.25), she introduced Breathe Me and said: "The next song is my favourite song from my debut album. Have you listened to my album?
"You all need to catch up because there's some new music coming very soon.
"This song is actually my favourite so I want to see light, hugging, kissing, getting touchy, let's go."
Tyla urged her fans - who she affectionately calls her Tigers - to take the time to look after themselves and take care of their own needs first.
Speaking ahead of Priorities, she told the audience: "This is basically just about prioritising yourself. You know, it's very important.
"And it's something that I've been doing for a while now. And yeah, the song is Mushy just about there and me reminding my tigers to do that every day no matter what. It's very important."
The Water hitmaker bemoaned the technical issues she experienced during her set, which saw her accompanied by both male and female dancers, including one incidence where she was unable to get down from a raised platform as planned and was forced to use steps at the back of the staging, running around to re-join the choreography.
She said: "I know I'm supposed to be professional but you guys, the amount of technical difficulties In having.
"But we're still having fun."
Tyla - who was photographed by Denys Didkovskyi during her set - had been supposed to perform at Open'er last year but pulled out for health reasons so she was delighted to finally make it to the festival to a rapturous reception.
She said: "You guys are giving me so much energy but I'm loving it.
"Today I was very low guys. My energy, my vibes.
"But I just feel really good being here in Poland.
I was supposed to perform here last year and I couldn't because of my injury and everything. So I'm glad that God brought me here today."
Other artists who performed at Open'er on Thursday included Lola Young, J. Balvin and headliners Nine Inch Nails.

Success left me feeling trapped, says Tyla
Tyla felt "trapped" following the success of Water. The 23-year-old singer released her chart-topping single in 2023, and Tyla admits that the success of the track changed her life. She told The Sun newspaper at a Q and A in London: "For a while, especially last year, I felt so trapped. "Like, 'Oh my word, I blew up and I just have to have everything right and everything has to be perfect now because the world is looking.' "It was kind of stressful for me." Tyla recently released We Wanna Party, her debut mixtape, and she relished the experience of being able to "experiment" with new sounds and ideas. She explained: "I wasn't planning on doing this. I was just making music at the beginning of the year. It was mainly for an album. "But as I got closer to summer, I was like, 'Hey the songs I was making were too good ... where are the summer songs? "We need some summer songs right now' and I am just too excited to hold on to them. I really just want people to hear it and party to it, and see how I've grown through the years and just see who I am now." Tyla actually thinks having "a little bit of arrogance" has helped her to navigate the stresses of the music industry. She said: "I just always knew I had something in me. "I just always had that kind of peace knowing that this is the life I'm gonna live. "I don't let anybody or anything limit me or put me in a box. I think I'm just confident. "A lot of people say arrogant, but I think everyone needs a little bit of arrogance, especially to make it in this industry and to make people believe in your music. "If you're not that proud and you don't believe in your stuff as strongly as you should, why would someone else?" Meanwhile, Tyla previously admitted that fame has robbed her of a normal life, meaning she can't go anywhere without security. The singer told British Vogue magazine: "Sometimes I even cry over it. I just miss being able to walk. Or sit in the park. Or go to Nando's."

'I find toxic people to just be so addictive...' Raye speaks about her weakness at Open'er Festival in Poland
Raye finds "toxic" people "addictive". The 27-year-old singer noted there are many types of addiction in the world, which she believes is part of the "human experience", and she is particularly drawn to individuals she knows are not good for her but she just can't seem to resist. Speaking on the Orange Main Stage stage at Open'er Festival in Poland on Wednesday night (02.07.25) as she introduced her song Mary Jane, she said: "I believe addictions are part of the human experience. "You can be addicted to a lot of things in life. You, you could be addicted to exercise - which is not me, but I'm very happy for those of you who decided to be addicted to exercise. "You could be addicted to chocolate, cheese. "Or you could be addicted to a human being. I find the toxic people to just be so addictive. You know, when you just can't tell that person 'No'. "And then you have illegal addictions, no judgement, this is a safe space and for me, too. "But I think, it's deemed unattractive as a woman to talk about this kind of addiction." Raye famously had a turbulent start to her career, leaving her record label Polydor after the company allegedly refused to release her debut album for several years, but she relishes being an "independent artist" now, making the music she always wanted to. Raye - who made history at the 2024 BRIT Awards, winning in six accolades, including British Artist of the Year - told the crowd: "I'm an independent artist. "Now, I was telling my driver actually on the way up. I was giving it my whole backstory, come on, and I was telling him I was an independent artist, and he asked if I like being independent and I was like, yes I do. "I had a bit of a tough time early on in my career as a record label for seven years. And during that time, I was releasing a lot of music but it was fast, fast pop, like music created to sell. And that's not the reason I wanted to be a singer. It's not the reason I wanted to be a musician in a songwriter, I think art is about honesty." Other artists who performed on the first day of Open'er Festival included Jorja Smith, Schoolboy Q and the night's headliners, Massive Attack. Performers in the coming days include Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Wolf Alice and Linkin Park.
