Tyla only needs a stage, a spotlight, and the confidence to own every second she’s on screen. Her first Vevo Official Live Performance of IS IT LOVE strips away distractions, replacing spectacle with striking visual storytelling and undeniable charisma. Set inside a raw industrial warehouse, the performance transforms concrete, shadows, and warm sepia lighting into an artistic backdrop that amplifies every movement. Alongside guitarist Ari O’Neal, Tyla creates chemistry between voice and instrumentation. Her effortless sex appeal is woven into the way she carries herself, making every glance, every step, and every note impossible to ignore. Tyla had to say:
I had so much fun making this series! Performing these songs live makes me even more excited to share APOP with the world.
JP Evangelista, EVP of Content, Programming and Marketing, at Vevo added:
After gracing the Vevo DSCVR stage a few years ago, we’re thrilled to be working again with Tyla, this time outside of the studio, to create a unique cinematic interpretation of her album. Connecting with fans across borders, Tyla is redefining what it means to be a global pop star today. She has captivated audiences with her infectious melodies, undeniable charisma, and cultural flair – all of which shine through in her performances. We’re excited to roll out more of the videos in this series, as well as the final short film.
The performance also signals the beginning of an ambitious collaboration between Tyla and Vevo, with additional live videos and a companion short film set to arrive in the coming weeks ahead of A*POP. Having previously amassed one of Vevo’s most-watched original performances with “Water,” the two reunite with a much grander creative vision that pushes beyond a traditional live session. As one of today’s fastest-rising global stars, Tyla continues blending fashion, movement, and vocal performance into a signature identity that resonates across cultures. Whether she’s delivering an arena anthem, a viral hit, or an intimate live performance, Tyla understands how to command attention and her magnetic presence remains in a league of its own.
