Turn up the volume: here's why Tyla's 'We Wanna Party' mixtape is essential listening
Tyla's 'We Wanna Party' mixtape is a vibrant celebration of good vibes and infectious energy. Image: Instagram Tyla's 'We Wanna Party' mixtape is a four-track mixtape that runs for 11 minutes, and it's all about, well, partying. Released on July 25, the mixtape is a pre-game before the actual party. Four days have passed since Tyla dropped the highly anticipated mixtape, and it's time to take a closer look at what this new project has to offer. Given the title, you would expect a high-energy, dancefloor-friendly vibe, and for the most part, that's exactly what you get. The mixtape kicks off with 'Dynamite', a collaboration with Nigerian sensation Wizkid that blends afrobeats with catchy vocals. The track has a fun, back-and-forth vibe, with Tyla and Wizkid trading lines showing us their undeniable chemistry. The beat is so moving, listening to this, I was instantly transported to a summer party vibe. Interestingly, 'Dynamite' has a bit of a history. Tyla recently revealed that the song was in her archives for about three years before she decided to dust it off and include it on the mixtape. Next up, we have 'Mr Media', which is a personal favourite because Tyla is finally showing off her sass by speaking her mind and responding to her critics. She sings: 'Remember when I used to fight with words? "Really, I should be worse,I should be meaner, "Why, why, why? "Ooh, why? None of your concern, "What I? None of your concern." The lyrics of the song are like a mic drop. Tyla is basically telling her critics she's got the skills to tear them apart with words, but she's choosing not to. The 'none of your concern' vibe is all about shutting down the noise. The song is proof that she's not afraid to speak her mind. Tyla also throws in Amapiano vocalist LeeMcKrazy's iconic 'Ba re ke LeeMcke' tag, which is pretty iconic. It serves as a nod to his style, and given that he is a co-writer on the song, it makes sense that she'd pay homage like that. The tag definitely adds to the track's energy, and it's a great fit for a hit that's all about telling haters what's up. Moving on, 'Is It' is another standout on the mixtape. With its highly anticipated release and subsequent chart-topping success, fans have been praising and enjoying the song, myself included. It is undoubtedly a party anthem, and its placement on the mixtape is fitting given the overall theme. 'Is It' is like a confidence booster in song form. You can't help but move your body to the beat, and before you know it, you're replaying it on repeat. Its chart-topping success comes as no surprise, given how catchy and vibey it is, and the visuals perfectly capture the song's energetic essence. Finally, the mixtape wraps up with 'Bliss'. While it does get you moving, it has a more relaxing vibe and feels a bit out of place among the other party anthems. She first teased the song during her Coachella performance earlier this year. After it dropped, she released the visuals as well. While Tyla delivers on the track, it's hard to shake the feeling that it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the mixtape. Maybe it's just a matter of tempo, but 'Bliss' feels like it could have been left out. Overall, 'We Wanna Party' is a fun, upbeat mixtape. If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack for a road trip or a pre-party hype-up, it's definitely the mixtape to have on repeat. I had high hopes for the project, and after hearing Tyla's earlier hits, I'm thrilled to say it didn't disappoint. The first three tracks brought something fresh while still feeling authentically Tyla.
