Alright, let’s gab a bit about this young’un, Tyla. Heard about her on the radio, the young people are all a-buzzin’. They say she’s a singer, makes music, you know? Sounds like a good kid, workin’ hard, that’s what matters.
Now, they tell me Tyla’s got this song, “Water.” Folks seem to like it, dancin’ and shakin’ their behinds to it. TikTok, they call it. My grandkid showed me, all these young folks doin’ the same jig. Guess it’s catchy, like them old tunes we used to hum back in the day. Just faster, and with more thump-thump.
- Heard she’s from South Africa.
- That’s a long ways away, ain’t it?
- Must be a brave girl, comin’ all this way to sing for folks.
This “Billboard Hot 100,” that’s a big deal, they say. First South African soloist in a long, long time to get on there. Good for her, I say. Showin’ the world what she’s got. Reminds me of them old stories, folks comin’ from nothin’ and makin’ a name for themselves. Hard work and a bit of luck, that’s what it takes.
They also talk about her “popiano” sound. Now, I ain’t no music expert, but it sounds fancy. Like them pianos they used to have in the church, but with a pep in its step. And she opened for Chris Brown, that fella? He’s been around a while, hasn’t he? Big name, they say. Good for Tyla, gettin’ her name out there with the big shots.
And this new song, “Tears”? Guess she’s keepin’ busy, that one. Workin’ hard, just like I said. That’s the way to do it, keep on keepin’ on. Don’t let nothin’ stop you. Life throws you curveballs, but you gotta keep swingin’. That’s what my old man used to tell me.
They say she’s got this dance too, that goes with her song “Water.” Folks are learnin’ it, shakin’ their hips and whatnot. Reminds me of them old dances we used to do at the town square, but… different. More jumpin’ around, I guess.
She’s been on TV too, talkin’ to folks. “The Breakfast Club,” they call it. And “The Tonight Show.” Big-time shows, I reckon. She’s sharin’ her stories, tellin’ folks about herself. That’s important, lettin’ people know who you are. Being honest and true, that’s what counts.
I saw a picture of her, somewhere… at a skate park, they said. And the beach. Young folks like them places, I guess. Reminds me of when we were young, runnin’ around, havin’ fun. Good times, those were. Gotta enjoy life while you can, that’s what I always say.
And somethin’ about her bein’ Christian, too. That’s nice. Good to have faith, keeps you grounded. Helps you through the tough times, you know? And they compared her to Ariana Grande, another singer. Don’t know much about her, but if they’re comparing, she must be good.
So, this Tyla girl, she seems alright. Workin’ hard, makin’ a name for herself. Singin’ her songs, dancin’ her dances. That’s the way to do it. Stay true to yourself, keep on pushin’, and don’t let nothin’ hold you back. That’s the secret to a good life, I reckon.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about this Tyla. Seems like a sweet girl, I wish her all the best. Hope she keeps singin’ and dancin’ and makin’ folks happy. And remember, hard work and a good heart, that’s all you need in this world.
