Tyla (album)

Nominator(s): dxneo (talk) 08:45, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about ... the self-titled debut studio by Tyla released in March 2024. It was recorded in multiple countries for over two years. Having preceded by "Water" which won the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance, the album debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 after selling 24,000 units in its first week, making it the highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 chart by a female African soloist in the chart's history. It was described as a no-skip-album.
I'm aware that this album is nominated for few awards, but I have made it my personal mission to maintain it for as long as I'm still active. dxneo (talk) 08:45, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ss112

Not a full review, but three pieces of non-free media (there were four before I removed one earlier today) that aren't discussed critically and whose absence would not be detrimental to a reader's understanding if they were removed (WP:NFCC#8) should rule this out being a featured article at present. I don't think any of the three files (one image and two audio samples) need to be here at all. The amount is also against minimal usage of non-free media (WP:NFCC#2). There is only one sentence on the sound of the songs whose samples are present ("Truth or Dare" and "Jump"), as the rest of the prose about those songs—which isn't substantial nor critical analysis anyway—are about the lyrics. The user who submitted this nomination commented on my talk page [2] after my edit to the article earlier, so I felt compelled to weigh in here instead of relegating my own opinion to a user talk page.

Thank you for your honest opinion on the review, one sample removed. I truly think the other is fairly discussed; it's hip hop side, Afrobeats influence and echoing log drum defining the amapiano genre. If it still doesn't sit well with you, please suggest a way it can be improved. dxneo (talk) 11:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator note

This has been open for more than three weeks and has yet to pick up a support. Unless it attracts considerable movement towards a consensus to promote over the next three or four days I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:20, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn and archived as requested. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
