00:00 We're hanging here with Tyla, the queen behind water.
00:04 Now let me tell you, I've been trying desperately to do the dance.
00:08 Yeah.
00:08 What is the secret to getting your butt to shake like that?
00:11 What is the secret?
00:12 Well, if you guys really want to learn, it's called Bacardi.
00:18 Yes.
00:19 Search that up and you will learn how to dance like that.
00:22 Okay, I'll have to do it.
00:23 I'll have to do it.
00:23 I thought the secret was maybe like loose pants, but it was...
00:25 That is definitely awesome.
00:27 Guys, do not wear tight clothes, please.
00:29 It won't work.
00:30 It's not going anywhere.
00:31 All I do is shake bones when I try.
00:32 Yeah, you're shaking nothing.
00:34 Yeah.
00:35 I mean, how has it felt to have the success of that and putting out new singles?
00:39 Do you feel pressure to live up to that expectation of water?
00:43 Are you kind of riding the wave?
00:44 Metaphorical wave.
00:46 Oh, yeah, metaphorical.
00:47 I mean, there's naturally going to be pressure, like you can't deny it.
00:51 But honestly, I'm just trying to release amazing music that I believe in and that I love
00:57 and that the people around me love.
00:59 And I'm sure that there will be people that will connect with it, the right people.
01:03 When it's honest and it's true, people will love it.
01:05 Yeah, definitely.
01:06 And I mean, going forward, I'm sure you've met a bunch of really cool people over the
01:10 course of the past, what, six months.
01:12 Is there someone you met that you're hoping to collaborate with or maybe someone you haven't met yet?
01:16 Yeah, I met SZA.
01:18 Oh my gosh.
01:20 And I would love to make a song with her.
01:22 Oh, that would be...
01:22 What would that look like?
01:23 I mean, it must be some sort of like kind of bad bitch anthem, I'm sure.
01:26 Definitely.
01:27 I love that.
01:28 I love that.
01:29 And moving forward, what do you have going on in 2024?
01:32 Is it mostly music focused?
01:34 Do you want to do more live performances?
01:35 What is your number one goal in the year?
01:37 I'm releasing my debut album in March.
01:41 So March 22nd, the pre-sale is already live.
01:44 That's something I'm really excited about.
01:47 But also my tour, our own Tyler tour.
01:50 Oh my gosh, what an overwhelming year.
01:53 Overwhelming, but I'm looking forward to it.
01:55 You're killing it.
01:56 You're along for the ride and I love it so much.
01:58 And lastly, what is the perfect Valentine's date for you?
02:02 Honestly, staying inside, watching movies, eating, maybe a little wine.
02:13 Yes, to get loose.
02:14 I love it.
02:15 Yes, to get loose.
02:16 Yes, girl.
