With its downcast, gossamer tone, the pop star’s eighth album scans as intimate and experimental even as it retreads familiar territory.

Polishing an already polished sound, Tyla’s second album adds reverb-heavy guitar and electronic production to frothy Afropop and amapiano log rhythms.

Combining sounds from across the electronic spectrum—tamborzão, techno, dubstep, deconstructed club—the Brazilian producer paints a gritty picture of São Paulo nightlife at its most adventurous.

On their new joint LP, the brothers are older, wiser, and newly invigorated. The timeless Memphis sound is a reminder of where much of the contemporary rap palette originated.
