It's only a matter of time until the world gets to see what this African pop star has to offer. Tyla's song Water thrust the Johannesburg-born singer into the spotlight and more international stars are recognising her, the latest being US singer Tank.

Tank covers Water and gives it that RnB flair

American singer and TGT group member Tank gave Tyla's smash hit song Water his own flavour. In an Instagram post, Tank covered the song and stripped it down for a more sensual tune.

The song is a lively Afro-pop single, and who better than Tank and his melodic voice to infuse some RnB into it?
