In a recent interview with RollingStone, Tyla discussed the inspiration behind her viral hit ‘Water,’ saying she enjoys how Asake employs his “choir vocals.”

“Amapiano music is the core of it [‘Water,’] in my opinion,” she remarked. And all of the influences from my childhood, such as Rihanna and all of the R&B girlies, R&B males, and pop gals. I enjoy incorporating such inspirations into my songs.

“Something I really love in Afrobeats music is when I hear those step vocals that sound like a choir, almost. And I really love the way Asake uses it. I just always love the way it sounds. So, with the chorus [of my song ‘Water,’ I incorporated it]. Obviously, people can’t stop singing, they can’t get it out of their minds, which I love.”
