Tyla unveils release date for her highly anticipated single 'Bliss'
Image: X
New Tyla alert! The Met Gala is not the only occasion the 23-year-old superstar is gearing up for. Tyla has revealed the release date for her new single, 'Bliss'.
The 'Water' hit-maker first previewed the song at her 2025 Coachella debut and later hinted at the single's arrival through a recent collaboration with Erewhon, where she launched a limited-edition smoothie, which was also called 'Bliss'.
The smoothie, which is not only a tasty treat but also a way to give back, supports 18twenty8, an organisation empowering girls in South Africa through education and personal development strategies.
The partnership with Erewhon may have been a subtle nod to her upcoming music release.
Tyla has previously expressed her excitement to share her new music with the world, and it is clear that she's been working hard to create something special.
Last year, in an interview with Coke Studio, the 23-year-old singer shared how she wanted to break away from her original sound when she released 'Tears', a single in collaboration with Coke Studio.
With 'Tears', she showcased her enchanting vocals, revealing a more vulnerable side that is different from her previous work.
Breaking away from the amapiano and pop sound that she is best known for, Tyla may be embarking on an exciting new journey with 'Bliss', and it is only a matter of time until fans get to experience it.
The Grammy Award-winning singer also featured on 'Show Me Love', a single by South African artist WizTheMc. Tyla's part in the collaboration has taken the song to greater heights as it has since gone viral on TikTok, also topping the music charts.

‘Enough': Cardi B slams online hate against Tyla
Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has come out swinging in defence of South African star Tyla, calling out the relentless online attacks the Push 2 Start singer has faced in recent months. 'People been dragging the s**t out of Tyla and it's like the girl does not even address or talk about nothing,' Cardi said during a late night X Spaces stream from Los Angeles. 'I'm starting to think people just don't like celebrities,' she said. The Am I The Drama? rapper admitted she hasn't followed every detail of the attacks but is shocked by the persistence. 'I don't know what the hate is about because I never really got into the details of what is the real hardcore thing. However, I do know every time I scroll down on my TikTok, there's a video of her and people are talking sh*t,' she said. 'It's like, goddamn, what do you want her to f**ing do, cut her f**ing veins? Like, enough. Enough. I think that's what you be wanting,' she said. Cardi, who is no stranger to 'straight up disrespectful' online comments, said the public criticism of Tyla has reached a disturbing level. Some of the backlash stems from Tyla's heritage and the language she uses to describe it. In 2024, during an interview on The Breakfast Club , Tyla described herself as 'coloured', a term that is a slur in the US but in South Africa refers to a distinct mixed-race identity with a complex historical and cultural background.

Cardi B rallies for Tyla: a bold stand against online trolls
Cardi B defends Tyla against internet trolls amid resurfaced online criticism. Image: Instagram Cardi B has spoken out in support of Tyla after the South African star found herself on the receiving end of another wave of online hate. Between last year's VMA controversy and the current wave of backlash, Cardi B's stance has remained the same. During a late-night X Spaces (formerly Twitter Spaces) stream, the rapper expressed her frustration at what she described as 'straight up disrespectful' treatment of artists online, using Tyla as a prime example. 'Look at Tyla,' she said during the livestream. 'People been dragging the s*** out of Tyla, and it's like, the girl doesn't even address or talk about anything.' She added that she feels the internet has developed an unhealthy obsession with tearing celebrities down. 'It's like the only way that people like celebrities is if you don't say anything at all,' she said. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The 'Please Me' singer revealed that she doesn't know why Tyla has become the latest target, but questioned the constant negativity that follows the South African sensation. 'Every single time I scroll down on my TikTok, there's a video of her and people are talking s***, and it's like, goddamn, what do you want her to f***ing do? Cut her f***ing veins?' Cardi B defends TYLA. As she should!! — TYLA_Tygrs 🐅✨(Fancount) (@Tyla_Tygrs) August 13, 2025 Once again, Tyla has recently been under heightened scrutiny on social media, particularly after a TikTok video where a creator pointed out that Tyla has not 'quite connected with the US audience'. The creator further noted that her 'We Wanna Party' mixtape has not reached greater heights when it comes to numbers despite Tyla being 'heavily marketed'. In 2024, the 'popiano' princess spoke publicly about the debate over her racial identity following an uncomfortable exchange in a recent interview. i guess one day the girls will learn… idkkk — 𓆩♡𓆪 GODS FAVORITE 𓆩♡𓆪 (@soulaaangel) August 10, 2025 While appearing on 'The Breakfast Club Show' on iHeartRadio, host Charlamagne tha God asked her to clarify what she meant when she described herself as 'coloured.' In South Africa, the term refers to people of mixed-race heritage, but in the United States, it is widely regarded as an offensive slur. This sparked renewed debates about her ethnic identity, leading American netizens to question why Tyla's music has not been charting, attributing this to a lack of support from the American Black audience. Recently, the 23-year-old Grammy-award-winning artist addressed the controversy over her ethnicity in an interview with "Variety". 'I don't expect to be identified as coloured outside of South Africa by anyone not comfortable doing so because I understand the weight of that word outside my country. But to close this conversation, I'm both coloured in South Africa and a black woman,' she asserted. This is not the first time Cardi B has come to Tyla's defence. Last year, she called out internet users for what she described as bullying, after the multi-award-winning artist was criticised for asking Lil Nas X to hold her Video Music Award (VMA) during her acceptance speech after she won.
