South African singer Tyla reveals why she loves Asake

South African singer Tyla Laura Seethal has shared her admiration for Nigerian musician Ahmed Ololade who is popularly known as Asake.

In a recent RollingStone interview, Tyla expressed her admiration for Asake's use of his "choir vocals" when discussing the inspiration behind her viral hit song "Water."

She claimed that the inspiration for her song "Water" came from Nigerian Afrobeats, childhood R&B influences, and Amapiano from her native country.

She said: “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.”
