Clash Magazine’s review presents Tyla’s A*POP as a confident, polished follow-up that develops the South African singer’s blend of pop appeal and personal identity. It argues that the album moves between romance, vulnerability and independence while retaining the restrained, melodic style associated with her breakthrough.

The review highlights tracks including ‘Is It Love’, ‘Chanel’, ‘Mr. Nonchalant’ and ‘Feel Something’, alongside collaborations with Mawhoo, Babalwa M, Liquideep and Zara Larsson. It says Tyla incorporates South African influences naturally, avoids trying to repeat the global success of ‘Water’, and instead refines her established strengths.
