From Afrobeats to amapiano and gqom to Afro-soul, the sounds of Africa have captured the hearts of music fans everywhere. Africa to the World celebrates the hottest artists from across the continent, and we were rich with cross-cultural collaboration in 2025. Pair-ups like Justin Bieber and Tems, Gyakie and 6LACK, SPINALL and Summer Walker, Gunna and Wizkid, Ciara and Diamond Platnumz, and Davido and Victoria Monét kept our speakers hot, but few can say they did more to bring African sounds to the world than South Africa’s Tyla. In 2025 alone, the singer collaborated with Travis Scott, Wizkid and Sean Paul, before teaming up with Cardi B on “Nice Guy” from the Bronx MC’s long-awaited album AM I THE DRAMA?. Tyla’s voice was both everywhere and highly necessary in 2025, almost like that life-sustaining element she once made a song about! Listen to Tyla on Africa to the World, and may we never have a shortage of her, in 2026 and beyond.
