South Africa’s Grammy-winning star Tyla has finally dropped her long-awaited mixtape We Wanna Party (WWP), and it lands with the kind of bold, infectious energy that fans have come to expect from the global amapiano-pop sensation.
The mixtape features a tight four-track lineup: "Dynamite" ft. Wizkid, "Mr Media," "Is It," and "Bliss." Though brief in length, the project is packed with the kind of genre-blending artistry that Tyla is known for merging amapiano, R&B, pop, and Afrobeats with ease.
Fan Favorite: "Mr Media"
While the entire mixtape buzzes with standout production and catchy hooks, it's the track "Mr Media" that has quickly emerged as a fan favorite especially among South African listeners. The song showcases Tyla's flair for narrative, wrapped in rhythm and groove. "Mr Media" manages to be both cheeky and vulnerable, painting a picture of fame, perception, and emotional honesty.
Fans online are already praising the track, with some calling it "the best song on the project." It’s also resonating for how it taps into Tyla’s dual identity as both a global pop star and a proudly South African woman.
Strong Opening with "Is It"
Leading the charge was "Is It," released earlier this month. With amapiano percussion, playful lyrics, and a steamy visual, the single quickly dominated playlists and YouTube alike, racking up over 1 million views in under 48 hours. Critics praised the track as a "sultry dance cut laced with vivacious temptation," and a perfect preview of what was to come.
Afrobeats Fusion on "Dynamite" ft. Wizkid
Another highlight of the mixtape is "Dynamite" featuring Nigerian superstar Wizkid. The track blends amapiano with Afrobeats seamlessly, offering a sultry, rhythmic vibe that’s both smooth and electrifying. Tyla and Wizkid’s vocals complement each other effortlessly, creating a laid-back anthem that’s already lighting up playlists across the continent. It's a true cross cultural celebration, fusing the best of South and West African sounds.

What We Wanna Party Means
According to Tyla, the mixtape celebrates the pure joy of South African party culture where the point isn't who you know, but how much you dance. The project feels less polished than her debut album, but intentionally so; it's looser, more adventurous, and full of flavor. It’s a bold reminder that music doesn’t always have to be formal to be meaningful.
Tyla’s We Wanna Party doesn’t just live up to its title it embodies it. From high energy beats to standout tracks like "Mr Media" and "Dynamite," the mixtape cements Tyla's place as one of the most exciting young artists in global music. It’s a confident, colorful, and culturally rooted body of work that invites fans everywhere to turn the volume up and let go.
Verdict: A must-listen. Danceable, dynamic, and deeply personal.
