Kyla is the British R&B vocalist whose 2008 single 'Do You Mind' provided the central sample and hook for Drake's 'One Dance' on Views in 2016. 'One Dance,' featuring Kyla and Wizkid, became Drake's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and one of the biggest songs of the streaming era, spending ten weeks at number one in the US and topping charts globally. Kyla's vocal - lifted and re-recorded for the track - gave 'One Dance' its hypnotic, dancehall-tinted core, and the song's success reintroduced her to a global audience nearly a decade after her original release. The collaboration is one of the clearest examples of Drake's curatorial ear for sampling underground UK and Caribbean records and elevating them to mainstream ubiquity, and it crystallized the genre-fluid pop-rap-dancehall sound that defined the Views era.
