Tyla Teams Up With Ghana’s Moliy for ‘Body Go’
Before “Chanel” drops, Tyla will be blessing fans with a major collaboration. On October 17, she will feature on “Body Go,” a track by Ghanaian Afrobeats singer and songwriter Moliy.

The collaboration has already sparked conversations across both the South African and Ghanaian music scenes, with many fans calling it a “perfect fusion” of Amapiano, Afrobeats, and global pop energy.

Tyla teased the collab through her Instagram Stories, where she shared a brief snippet of the upbeat, tropical-sounding track. The teaser showcased the duo’s undeniable chemistry and left fans eager for the official release.

Moliy’s Rise in Global Music
Moliy, whose real name is Molly Ama Montgomery, first made waves in 2021 with her breakout collaboration alongside Amaarae on the hit single “Sad Girlz Luv Money,” which later featured Kali Uchis.

The track became a global success, debuting at No. 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaking at No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart. Its viral popularity on TikTok and streaming platforms cemented Moliy’s reputation as one of West Africa’s most promising musical exports.

In 2024, she followed up with “Shake It to the Max (Fly),” produced by Silent Addy, which soared to No. 1 on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart and No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart. The track’s danceable rhythm and bold lyrics earned widespread acclaim and showcased her versatility as an artist.

African Female Artists Leading the Global Sound
The collaboration between Tyla and Moliy symbolizes the growing influence of African female artists on the global stage. Both singers have carved unique identities while pushing the boundaries of their genres Tyla blending pop, R&B, and amapiano, and Moliy fusing Afrobeats with alternative soul.

Tyla’s meteoric rise began with her chart-topping hit “Water,” which earned her international recognition, a Grammy win, and viral success on TikTok. Her upcoming releases mark the next phase of her career, one that continues to blur the lines between African and global pop sounds.

Fans Anticipate Back-to-Back Music Releases
With both “Chanel” and “Body Go” dropping just a week apart, fans are in for a double treat. The strategic timing has many speculating that Tyla is gearing up for a new album era or an extended project featuring a fusion of her global and African influences.

“Chanel” is expected to deliver Tyla’s signature smooth vocals and glossy production, while “Body Go” promises vibrant Afrobeats energy alongside Moliy’s melodic flair.

As one fan aptly put it on X (formerly Twitter):
“Tyla and Moliy on one track? Africa is about to dominate the charts again.”
