I lowkey think Tyla wants us to demand it to be released in the US. sis is liking all the tik toks about it

there's no way she chose to play the song in every pre-release party when it was region locked.. it was def a label choice lol

her label / team are actively playing in her face! bc how this ended up off the album, and That Girl's video actually got released are beyond me.

has she acknowledged the music video controversy yet? it has 1 million views and only 47k likes

the youtube comments are dragging it too, you KNOW it's bad when they're not sucking it from the back

which is a shame bc this rollout could have really turned around.

SELFISH, KISS and MR. NONCHALANT deserve their moments, and I fear that'll never happen. THAT GIRL could possibly be saved with a choreo / dance video.

tbh I expected more based on the comments in this thread.

to me this sounds more like a Tyla feature on a DJ's song. This could've been sung by anyone

Mr Nonchalant needs to be the next single immediately.

It's nothing groundbreaking, but with a cute summery video it could've been a moderate hit. Making this song a Japanese edition only bonus track is just dumb

As expected, her country did not let her down:

I really love the album on my top 5 for the year!

Wow sienna will do 25k in her third or forth week? That's more than Tyla's first week. Tyla needs to get out there & promote. Sienna is literally everywhere & it's shows.

She is in same situation as Ciara on her 2nd album. They got popular thanks to their niche genre being hot at the time (Tyla's Afro-pop, Ciara's crunk).... By the time 2nd album comes, the niche genre has peaked in popularity, and they have to adjust: to continue their niche genre or not, to be more urban or not, to crossover to pop or not. Worse for Tyla, urban genre at large has lost a lot of popularity compared to Ciara's time. It's all about country music in US now.

Another issue, she always tries so hard to crack US market - meanwhile time has shown again and again that international audience is where she belongs. How Kelly Rowland of her.

Honestly I think best situation is she should be based in UK ala FLO, develops a core international fanbase in UK/ Europe/ South East Asian / South Asian markets. She should also explore more dance / EDM collabs with DJ, try to combine both Afro-pop and Eurodance to create her own lane.

The US market only cares about country music now. It's tough for urban artists. Even Cardi B is low-key underperforming despite her profile remains incredibly popular.

I'm so excited to hear this album live...

It seems like DSPs have SELFISH now, when they didn't before. I'm hoping a release is imminent.

When you Shazam'd the song before, it goes into an expanding search flow which means it didn't recognize it at all. BETTER THAN THIS still throws this result.

Now when you Shazam it, it throws a "not recognized" result within ten seconds, meaning they actually do recognize it but it's not out yet.

Hopefully a A*POP deluxe is coming with Selfish, Better Than This, maybe another unreleased song and or a remix.

Put Disco on there too lol I hate that she still refuses to acknowledge that bop

Omg I caved and finally gave into listening to Selfish after all the hype the past two pages. It's an amazing song of course, but I just wanna say there's really something to Tyla's voice. Someone earlier said the beat wasn't anything too wild, but it's her voice that sells it. There's a wistful cadence to it that really makes her love songs pop, she just captures the feeling of falling in love so well. Her voice excites you, but at the same time, there's a serene quality to it. Other songs by her that make me feel this: PUSH 2 START, Back To You, Is It Love, Priorities, Breathe Me, Bliss, etc

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!
