There’s something about Tyla’s timing that always feels… intentional.
Just days after stealing every frame at the Met Gala, the South African singer has dropped the visuals for her new single “Bliss”—a delicate slow burn that leans all the way into intimacy.

On the surface, “Bliss” is a love song. But listen closely, and it unfolds into something far deeper: a meditation on emotional safety, quiet devotion, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need noise to be profound. It’s soft. It’s steady. And it feels like exhaling.

“I feel safe, I feel seen, I feel held”—that’s the energy here.
Tyla doesn’t belt. She whispers, breathes, glides. The vocals are restrained but powerful, every note soaked in a kind of stillness that feels sacred. This isn’t love as chaos. This is love as calm.

The music video mirrors this mood with visual poetry: soft lighting, slow movements, and the kind of camera work that lingers—because it knows the good stuff takes time. Tyla, bathed in vulnerability, never overperforms. She lets the emotion lead. The result is a quiet, cinematic piece that feels more like a memory than a performance.

It’s a shift from her usual rhythm-forward catalog, but one that shows just how deep Tyla can go when she decides to move in silence.

Watch the video below—and prepare to feel held.
