Tyla is hinting at a high-profile collaboration for her upcoming album A-Pop, and all signs point to Zara Larsson. A new Instagram post shared in early April intensified speculation, with Tyla tagging the Swedish pop star and captioning it, “@zaralarsson nosy assssss #APOP,” while using Larsson’s track “Hot & Sexy” as the audio.
The interaction didn’t stop there. Larsson quickly responded in the comments with “My girrIlll,” fueling online buzz around a potential feature. That exchange follows a string of recent moments linking the two artists, including a photo Larsson posted just days earlier and a studio shot shared earlier this year, both suggesting an ongoing creative connection.
Momentum around A-Pop has been building steadily since Tyla confirmed the project on the 2026 GRAMMYs red carpet, where she won Best African Music Performance for the second time. The album, expected later this year, marks her sophomore release and arrives as her global profile continues to expand. In a recent interview, she described the project as a more intentional body of work shaped by personal growth and a clearer artistic direction at age 24.
Recent teasers point to an evolving sonic palette. Tyla previewed a new track titled “Deep Down” in a short clip, pairing the snippet with a cryptic caption that hinted at a “surprise.”
Commercially, Tyla enters this cycle from a position of strength. Her single “Chanel” has surpassed 300 million Spotify streams and continues to gain traction, recently reaching a new peak of No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.
