Join us in the record shop on Saturday, July 18th at 4:30 for a special A*POP early listening event! We’ll be streaming Tyla’s new album almost a week before its official release, so don’t miss your chance to be the first to hear it. We’ll also be sharing party favors** with attendees and raffle tickets for a sweet Tyla A*POP prize as well as a Grimey’s gift certificate. (Raffle tickets free but limited to one per person; must be present to win.) Plus we’ll also be sharing complimentary Tennessee Brew Works beers with attendees (21+ w/ valid ID) as this listening event is happening at our favorite time of the week, BEER:30! This is a free & all ages affair, so come one, come all.
A*POP is the sophomore record from the two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum global superstar.. A bold evolution from Tyla’s debut, this 14-track album features Tyla’s signature sultry vocals, seamlessly blending amapiano, pop, and R&B. A*POP is both a statement and a movement — a declaration that African music is pop music, with Tyla leading the charge at the forefront of a global shift. Featuring standout hits like “IS IT,” “CHANEL” and “SHE DID IT AGAIN (feat. Zara Larsson), A*POP invites you into Tyla’s immersive, vibrant world — a defining second album that cements her as a true global icon. A*POP will be available for purchase at Grimey’s on CD and limited edition ‘POP$TAR PINK’. colored vinyl starting on Friday, July 24th.
A note on BEER:30 events—our Tyla early listening event coincides with our weekly BEER:30 hang, so we’ll be offering free Tennessee Brew Works beers to those 21+ (with valid IDs). Beer is complimentary but we are collecting cash tips to be donated to support the good works of the folks at DRKMTTR, Nashville's enduring all-ages space, that thrives as a hub for connectivity and creative collaboration. Beyond being a music venue, DRKMTTR stands as a nexus of resilience, cultivating a dynamic community where the DIY ethos transforms into collective action. Through cross-pollination initiatives, DRKMTTR links artists, organizes communities & the under-21 crowd, and as a 501-C3 non-profit, they seek the backing necessary to perpetuate their pivotal role and create a lasting influence.
** As it were, we await our special A*POP goodies to arrive, but, fingers crossed, hopefully they’ll land on time. If not, A*POP party favors will be available for fans to pick up starting on release day, 7/24.
