"It's getting boring now." Tyla responds to comparisons with Britney Spears

It's a tale as old as time - woman being compared to others and Tyla is not having it.

In a recent interview with Dazed, Tyla was asked about her feelings around people constantly comparing her to Britney Spears when discussing her and her talents.

When the 22-year-old singer released the music video for her Grammy-winning track 'Water' last October fans were quick to point out the visuals were similar to Britney's iconic 'I'm A Slave 4 U' promo from 2001... and the comparisons continued.

During the interview, Tyla responded saying: 'Honestly, when people bring up these references, most of the time there was never a reference... it’s never, 'make the video look completely like this. It’s getting boring now.'

While admitting to 'scrambling' to let people know her name when 'Water' became a hit, Tyla says her team always brings 'fresh ideas' and isn't trying to reproduce any other artist.

'We were low-key scrambling, I was like, ‘How am I gonna let people know my name?’ I never want it to be the case where the song is huge and people don’t know who I am.'

'We have so many cool things of this time, new creatives. I just love working with people who have new and fresh ideas,' said the Jump singer.

Tyla also highlighted that the choreography is rarely pre-planned, and is instead simply a group of 'random people' expressing themselves 'in the moment.'

She explained: 'Even the dances that we come up with, it’s literally random people who just did something they felt in the moment which just caught on and now the world is doing it.'

Tyla also opened up about her tour that was forced to be put on hold when she suffered an undisclosed injury made her 'take time' for her health.

The Grammy winner said: 'I’m still listening to my body. I think I need to take my time, not rush. I want to give people art and good performances, but I need to listen to my body and what I need.'
