The singer, whose viral hit "Water" won the inaugural best African music performance Grammy earlier this year, will compete in pop with her debut album, though it is rooted in Afrobeats and R&B.

The Recording Academy has reportedly moved South African singer Tyla’s eponymous debut album into the pop Grammys category despite the project being initially submitted in the R&B category. According to Hollywood Reporters, the Recording Academy’s R&B screening committee kicked the project from Best R&B Album to Best Pop Vocal Album.
