Fans Praise Her Acting Skills
South African music sensation Tyla is proving she’s more than just a voice — she’s a full-blown performer.
Known globally for her smash hit Water, Tyla has now captivated fans once again with the release of her dramatic, movie-like music video for “Bliss.”
Directed by Julien Christian Lutz, the Bliss video opens with Tyla in a powerful desert scene where a massive explosion occurs behind her, yet she remains calm and collected.
As the visuals unfold, she climbs a rope into the clouds, creating a symbolic and dreamlike ascent through themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional healing.
“For the drama, for the plot… Bliss mv out now,” Tyla wrote in an Instagram post alongside a teaser clip.
Lyrics That Match the Emotion
The soulful lyrics mirror the emotional visuals:
“I don’t wanna be in the world without you /
Baby, I don’t wanna let you out my sight /
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna ever break away from you /
Or the light might go away, I need you in my life.”
The raw emotion in Tyla’s performance resonated deeply with fans. In one powerful scene, she breaks down in tears — prompting a wave of support online. One fan commented, “The acting skills >>> I cried with you.” Another wrote, “Visuals on another level. Tyla really said ‘Bliss’ and delivered it scene by scene.”
First Performed at Coachella 2025
Tyla first debuted Bliss at Coachella 2025 in California, where she stunned audiences with her live performance. The official music video, released on May 9, was eagerly anticipated ever since.
In a recent Billboard interview, Tyla reflected on her artistic evolution:
“I’ve changed a lot in a short amount of time because I was kind of forced to – with how fast I had to adapt to everything. I don’t think it’s going to be the same energy at all, especially with what I’ve started making. It’s different, but also still Tyla.”
What’s Next for Tyla?
Tyla’s momentum is far from slowing down. She’s set to host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on June 21, further proving she’s one of the most versatile stars of her generation.
From dominating charts to showcasing her acting talents in visually stunning music videos, Tyla is blazing a path as one of the brightest young talents in global pop music.
