Everybody knew Tyla’s karaoke song when she released her “Breathe Me” music video on Tuesday, September 3.
The video picks up where Tyla’s “Truth or Dare” music video left off earlier this year in February. That visual introduced Tyla’s love interest. In “Breathe Me,” the story travels to a random evening date in Osaka, Japan. The lovely couple smiled at each other as they entered a private karaoke room. There, they shared a crazy rendezvous moment where Tyla seduces him. Nabil directed the video. Interestingly, they filmed it the previous month when the singer from Johannesburg, South Africa visited Tower Records Shibuya. During that outing, her boyfriend wore the store’s merchandise.
“Breathe Me” appeared on Tyla’s self-titled debut album, which came out in March 2024 through FAX and Epic Records. The album peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200. Additionally, it reached number eight on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
Tyla is nominated for three awards at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, September 11. These include “Best New Artist,” “Best R&B Video,” and “Best Afrobeats Video” for her Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit “Water.”
“The South African genre of amapiano just started bubbling, and I’m so proud that South Africa has a genre that people are enjoying and paying attention to,” Tyla explained on Billboard in her Cover Story in March 2024. “I’m super proud of my country and where our sound has gone.”
