Water by South African singer Tyla has been on the lips of many music enthusiasts since it landed in July this year. It is one of the fastest-rising songs and is currently ranked among the hottest R&B and hip-hop songs on the Billboard Chart.
The irresistible style of this world classic has, therefore, attracted American rapper and singer Travis Scott to its sonically endowed remix version.
Released on November 17, the remix is as good as the original, which has been nominated for the 2024 Grammys. Water (Remix) is a must-listen, as Scott brought on his own vibe and lyrical prowess.
This collaboration is happening after American music producer and Disc Jockey (DJ), Marshmello, did his own mash-up version of the song.
The latest Tyla-Travis Scott combination opens with Tyla’s perfect intro and accompanying sound effects before Scott steps in the middle to add his own flavor to the well-rated sound.
