South African singer Tyla<\/strong><\/a> has released \u2018Is It Love\u2019, the third single from her forthcoming second album A*POP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The track fuses dance-driven production with introspective lyrics, drawing on pop, Afrobeats and R&B. It explores themes of love, vulnerability and emotional connection.<\/p>\n

Directed by Aerin Moreno<\/strong>, the music video depicts a relationship in decline. Shot largely inside an apartment, it follows Tyla through choreographed sequences as the set gradually fractures, with shattered glass and rising water underscoring the emotional collapse.<\/p>\n

Tyla<\/a> teased the single on Instagram and TikTok, where preview clips drew substantial engagement ahead of the official drop.<\/p>\n

A*POP rollout and creative direction<\/h2>\n

\u2018Is It Love\u2019 arrives after \u2018She Did It Again\u2019, a collaboration with Zara Larsson, and \u2018Chanel\u2019, both part of the A*POP campaign. Hints of the album first surfaced in the \u2018Chanel\u2019 video, and Tyla has continued to reveal details through interviews and public appearances.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the project earlier this year, she described the organic nature of its creation:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just knew that as I lived through the making of the album, it was going to fall into place, which it did. I feel like I just did something really fresh and so\u2026 Tyla.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Awards and global stage<\/h2>\n

The release caps a period of heightened visibility for the artist. Earlier this year, Tyla won her second Grammy Award<\/a> for Best African Music Performance for \u2018Push 2 Start\u2019. She also collected two American Music Awards<\/strong>: Best Afrobeats Artist and Social Song of the Year for \u2018Chanel\u2019.<\/p>\n

She is nominated in the Video of the Year and Viewers\u2019 Choice categories at the 2026 BET Awards<\/strong>, both for \u2018Chanel\u2019. Beyond music, her appearance at this year\u2019s Met Gala<\/strong> drew international attention.<\/p>\n
