Tyla returns with a fresh single called “RIGHT NOW,” another addition to her growing catalog of innovative pop records. The track arrives as part of her second studio album A*POP, released through FAX and Epic Records. “RIGHT NOW” captures the essence of living in the moment, with lyrics that celebrate yearning and immediacy without hesitation. The production merges modern beats with subtle R&B elements, creating something that works equally well on dance floors and late-night playlists.
Born Tyla Seethal in Johannesburg, the South African artist has built her reputation on a distinctive sound she calls “popiano”—a fusion of pop and R&B layered with the euphoria of amapiano. Her rise has been rapid. She became the youngest South African musician to chart globally, and her previous single “CHANEL” cemented her status as one of Africa’s brightest talents. “RIGHT NOW” continues that trajectory.
What stands out here is how Tyla’s soft yet powerful vocals sit within the crisp, vibrant production. She never oversells the moment; instead, her delivery feels natural and grounded. The track’s urgent, passionate energy builds through its chorus, but the production never feels cluttered. There’s space for her voice to breathe.
