@Dxneo: i'll review this. 750h+ 23:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

1. Well-written

lead

• 22 March 2024 through Fax, and Epic Records. the comma isn't needed
• Production and songwriting on the album was spearheaded by change "was" to "were".
• However, multiple dates were cancelled due to injury. remove "However". Change "injury" to "injuries"
• with many critics praising the versatility of music genres featured. add "the" before "music genres".

background and release

• While speaking on the album's sound prior to its release change "prior to" to "before"
• and that it would be primarily be "popiano", a blend of the amapiano and pop genres. remove the first "be".
• submission date in order to collaborate with the Nigerian singer Tems on the song "No.1". change "in order to" to "to" for conciseness.
• in Portland, Jamaica. unlink "Jamica"; per MOS:GEOLINK, only the smaller territorial unit should be linked.

composition and lyrics

• is a 41 seconds recording that plays ==> "is a 41-second recording that plays"
• with Tyla's vocals flactuating between the low "fluctuating" is spelt wrong.
• the forth song in the album, is described as a slab "fourth" is spelt wrong
• It features Tyla's smooth whispered vocals and synths with aspect of sadness add "the" before "aspect".

promotion

• conclude on 28 May 2024 in the Minneapolis Minneapolis is a city; the article "the" is not needed
• was later cancelled due to an injury that the singer suffered prior to the "prior to" ==> "before"
• she did pop-up shop appearances in London and Johannesburg in order to promote the record. "in order to" ==> "to"

singles

• Merge the first paragraph with the second one; single-sentence paragraphs generally aren't wanted.
• A live performance of "On and On" on the German music performance platform ColorsxStudios was released onto YouTube YouTube should be linked and change "onto" to "on".
• streaming platforms a day prior to the release of the digital EP Tyla. "prior to" ==> "before".

critical reception

• afrobeats, amapiano, pop, and R&B, while still remaining "true to her roots. remove the comma that follows "pop".
• while still remaining "true to her roots." remove "still".
• on an album where "where forward motion is a recurring metaphor" remove one of the "where"s.
• began her review noting that on the album, Tyla "flexes her fidelity to pop-R&B" and that the album "pulses with amapiano’s log-drum heartbeat". change the second "album" to "it".
• "shows she’s up to the challenge", labeling her the most "effective ambassador" in South African English, it is "labelling" not "labeling"

All  Done. dxneo (talk) 03:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I did one minor copyedit, but the prose part looks fine. Pass 750h+ 03:43, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

commercial performance

• No problems here, pass. 750h+ 03:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

2. Verifiable with no original research

• Are Breakroom Africa, DanceHallMag, the journalist dj, SlikourOnLife and EarOne reliable? Spotchecks performed on 13, 30, 51, and 56. Like the previous nomination, there are YouTube source but they are published by reliable sources. Earwig finds no obvious problems. 750h+ 03:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Breakroom Africa is most certainly reliable as it's information usually checks out. I've never used DancehallMag before, but it has been used over 250 times on en-wiki per dancehallmag.com  . Content on the journalistdj matches that of slikouronlife which has been used over 165 times on en-wiki slikouronlife.co.za   slikouronlife has been a news source for music for as long as I can remember, hosted by Slikour of Skwatta Kamp who sometimes interviews the musicians. Lastly, EarOne is indeed a reliable source, mostly used for radio dates. It is cited on a featured article "Your Power". dxneo (talk) 04:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I think slikouronlife and/or the journalistdj sources can be replaced, if that's what you're asking. dxneo (talk) 04:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Honestly I think I'm fine with the source quality then. Source review pass. 750h+ 05:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

3. Broad

It's a long article. Comparing it to other album articles it seems broad, and it's pretty long for a new album so I believe this is a broadness pass. 750h+ 05:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

4. Neutral

• Per 1. Pass 750h+ 05:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

5. Stable

• Because of the recent expansions I believe that after I promote this it'll be stable, so I'm going to stay neutral. 750h+ 05:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

6. Illustrated

All images have WP:ALT text. All four images are appropriately licensed, with one fair use image showing the album cover.

Verdict

@Dxneo: unless you have any other comments then i'd be happy to pass this for WP:GA status. 750h+ 05:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

750h+ Thank you for taking this review, please proceed. dxneo (talk) 05:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
