54 Ultra has shared “Honeymoon,” a new single recorded at Electric Lady Studios, as he wraps a breakout year at Camp Flog Gnaw this weekend and looks ahead to 2027 tour dates across the UK, Europe and Australia.

54 Ultra shares new single “Honeymoon.” Recorded over the summer at Electric Lady Studios, “Honeymoon” brings together 54 Ultra with frequent collaborator Paul Cherry (Jungle, Remi Wolf), Eddie Burns (Clairo, Omar Apollo), and William Corduroy (Sparklmami, les sons du cosmos) behind the production, written by Claire Cottrill. The track delivers a portrait of urge and longing, layered with 54 Ultra’s delicate vocals, understated percussion, and subtle whistles tucked throughout.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the single, 54 Ultra shares: “Inspired by the sound of late 70s smoky pop music, “Honeymoon” came together during a magical night at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. I wanted to capture that feeling by recording straight to analog tape and using mostly vintage instruments and equipment, paying close attention to every detail along the way. I feel this song is a beautiful step in a new direction for me while still being familiar. I even bought a Yamaha CP70 for this song to make sure I got the sound exactly where I wanted it to be. To me, it’s a perfect backdrop to the changing seasons into the end of the year.”

The single arrives as 54 Ultra wraps up an expansive year of live performances, with this weekend’s Camp Flog Gnaw marking the final stop of his North American run. Throughout 2026, he took the stage at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Sea.Hear.Now, played his largest headline shows to date and joined Malcolm Todd and Thundercat along the way.

“Honeymoon” is his latest offering since his bilingual single “Tell Me,” shared back in July, which capped off a huge first half of the year following the release of his double single “Turnaround” and B-side, “I’m Hooked,” that coincided with his official signing to Interscope Records. Earlier in the year, 54 Ultra featured and produced “Talk To You” with ANOTR, which sculpted his signature synth-laced indie-rock-soul sound into a groovy, high-energy dance track that debuted on five European charts and has sat #1 on the Warm Global Dance Radio chart for 17 weeks and was championed by England’s World Cup team.

Rising out of New Jersey, 54 Ultra is the musical project of songwriter and producer JohnAnthony Rodriguez. In the kaleidoscopic world of music, 54 Ultra emerges as a beacon of sonic fusion indebted to his Puerto Rican and Dominican roots, weaving synthy indie rock with a Latin soul heartbeat. His smooth vocals and tasteful production evoke an instant sense of nostalgia and have already begun to garner fans from around the world. His debut single “Where Are You” continues to grow rapidly on social media, along with the young artist’s profile. Last May, Johnny released his debut EP, First Works, which Billboard recognized as one of the Best Projects of the Year (So Far). The six-track EP laid the groundwork for his sold-out fall tour leg and resulting singles, “I Won’t Go” and “Find Your Love,” the latter of which premiered on KCRW’s Live from HQ.

Listen to “Honeymoon” above, and stay tuned for more 54 Ultra soon.

Tyla performs live on stage during the opening night of the North America leg of The A*POP World Tour at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California

Tyla launched the North America leg of The A*POP World Tour last night at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, opening with “THAT GIRL” and closing with an encore of “WATER” as her sophomore album A*POP continues its run at the top of the Billboard World Albums chart.

Last night, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning global singer and songwriter Tyla launched the North America leg of her highly anticipated THE A*POP WORLD TOUR at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, CA. The tour celebrates the release of her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, A*POP, which arrived July 24 via FAX and Epic Records.

Tyla opened the show with “THAT GIRL” before delivering performances of “Jump,” “PUSH 2 START,” “Truth or Dare” and more. The setlist also featured fan favorites and chart-topping hits including, “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and “SHAKE AH”, “CHANEL,” before closing with an encore performance of “WATER.” The production brought the A*POP aesthetic to life, transforming the stage into a vibrant, club-like setting with black lights, neon outfits and bold splashes of paint.

THE A*POP WORLD TOUR continues tomorrow with a performance at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco before making stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and more. The North America leg concludes on Saturday, December 19 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Tyla will then bring the tour to Africa for select performances in Cape Town and Johannesburg early January before supporting Bruno Mars on his Australia and New Zealand dates of The Romantic Tour throughout February and March.

The tour follows Tyla’s 2025 We Wanna Party Tour across Asia and the UAE, which included sold-out performances in Japan. THE A*POP WORLD TOUR marks her first full-scale headline tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK and Africa.

Released July 24, A*POP features 14 tracks, including “CHANEL,” “IS IT,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and “IS IT LOVE.” The album is available to stream now at tyla.lnk.to/APOP.

About Tyla

In an era where niche culture has taken priority over monoculture, two-time GRAMMY® winner TYLA has ascended to true and unequivocal global superstar status. With A*POP, asserted and fully aware of her presence in pop music, she presents a project that refuses containment or dismissal. It’s confrontational, candid but fun, and spills authenticity rooted in where she’s from: a country that has always spoken in more than one musical language. Through this language, she reveals her range not just as an African artist, but as a global pop star with an entire world behind her.

TYLA’s journey got off to a historic beginning in 2024, when she won her first GRAMMY® Award, and made Billboard chart history with the three-time RIAA® Platinum smash hit “WATER,” and the release of her seminal debut albums, TYLA and TYLA+. The set produced another Hot 100 and GRAMMY®-winning hit, “PUSH 2 START,” and sent seven songs to the U.S. Afrobeats chart, including two no. 1s. The campaign made TYLA the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard 200. With her highly-anticipated second go-round, A*POP, TYLA picked up where she left off. “CHANEL,” one of the album’s standout singles, was an immediate pop sensation. It topped the U.S. Afrobeats chart and earned over 150 million video views, while TYLA’s follow-up effort, the Zara Larsson-assisted, Y2K-inspired “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” became a disruptive moment, and amplified TYLA’s commitment to the pop star realm. “IS IT LOVE?,” the album’s third single, earned TYLA her record fourth no. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart. A*POP is available now.
