South African chart-topper Tyla steps in with a sweet new tune titled “Is It Love,” a song that captures the feeling of catching unexpected feelings for someone.
There’s something light and easy about this record. Instead of doing too much, Tyla keeps things simple as she sings about the confusion that comes when friendship starts turning into something deeper. It’s a situation many can relate to.
There’s a nice bounce to the production, with soft drums and clean melodies. While the beat stays chilled out, there’s still enough rhythm to keep listeners moving from start to finish. Tyla sounds comfortable throughout the song.
The vocals fit well over the instrumental and the chorus is easy to remember after a couple of listens. She doesn’t force the emotion. Instead, she lets the lyrics tell the story.
“Is It Love” is a pleasant record that fits the warm and melodic sound Tyla has become known for. Fans of easy-listening Afropop will likely enjoy this one.
