A Surprise Collab: Tyla and Moliy’s ‘Body Go’
Before Chanel hits streaming platforms, Tyla is giving fans a taste of something different—a collaboration with Ghanaian singer Moliy on the afrobeats track “Body Go”, set to drop October 17.
Moliy, known for her breakthrough 2021 hit “Sad Girlz Luv Money” with Amaarae featuring Kali Uchis, has been making waves globally. The track charted at number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 29 in the UK. In 2024, she followed up with “Shake It to the Max (Fly)”, which soared to number one on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart and reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, fueled by viral TikTok moments.
Both artists have been teasing snippets of the new track on Instagram, giving fans a taste of the infectious afrobeats vibe. Tyla shared a snippet on her Stories, while Moliy gave followers a longer preview, adding to the anticipation.

Why This Is a Big Deal for South African Music
Tyla has been steadily cementing her place on the global stage. After becoming the youngest African artist to win a Grammy Award, every new release carries huge expectations. With Chanel, she promises the signature mix of pop, amapiano, and unapologetic flair that her fans love. Meanwhile, collaborating with Moliy signals Tyla’s continued commitment to bridging African sounds with the global music scene, especially through afrobeats, a genre that has been taking over international charts.
Fans are already speculating how Chanel’s catchy lines and Moliy’s signature rhythms in Body Go will perform on TikTok and streaming charts. Considering Tyla’s track record, it wouldn’t be surprising if both tracks go viral within hours of release.
