South African pop star, Tyla Laura Seethal, better known by her stage name, Tyla, has explained why she loves Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Asake.
The singer recently featured in a Rolling Stone article where she talked about her breakout single and how Afrobeats inspires her sound.
Tyla said she loves how the ‘Joha’ crooner uses his vocals, which sound choir-like. She added that apart from Afrobeats, Amapiano from her home country and her childhood R&B influences were the core inspiration for ‘Water’.
She said, “Amapiano music is the core of it [‘Water’] in my opinion. And just all of the influences from growing up like Rihanna and all the R&B girlies, R&B boys, pop girls. That type of influences I love bringing into my music.
“Something I really love in Afrobeats music is when I hear those step vocals that sound like a choir, almost. And I really love the way Asake uses it. I just always love the way it sounds. So, with the chorus [of my song ‘Water,’ I incorporated it]. Obviously, people can’t stop singing, they can’t get it out of their minds, which I love.”
