[usr 4]

Grammy-winning South African pop artist Tyla delivers another surefire bop with her infectious, summery single, “IS IT.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“I” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]s it the fucks that I don’t give? / Is it the men that I don’t miss?” Holy f-bomb! Tyla comes out swinging on “IS IT”. Backed by sleek production, anchored by a fabulous, hard-hitting beat, our Grammy-winning South African pop artist is on autopilot! The summery vibes are alive and well on this joint filled with attitude and confidence.  That f-bomb sets the tone, but, Tyla eschews profanity the rest of the way, letting her fierceness shine through the fun lyrics and memorable melodies of the verses. The second verse is steamy, though, as Tyla leans into desire, wondering if the drink has been thinking about hooking up with him (“Like what it’s like when you take me home / And what it’s like when you take it off”). Beyond the verses, the pre-chorus (“I can’t leave, I can’t leave / Leave you alone with your eyes on me, no…”) prefaces the crème de la crème, the tuneful, irresistible chorus: “Is it wrong that wanna get right / Wanna get right with you?” Decisions, decisions, decisions.  What isn’t a hard decision is adding “IS IT” to the listening rotation.  Tyla remains consistent, serving up a well-rounded vocal, memorable songwriting, and sound, striking production (Mocha Bands, Sammy Soso, Ari PenSmith, and Believve). It’s giving bop, bop, bop! [/otw_shortcode_dropcap]
