Tyla (born Timothy Taylor) is an English rock musician, best known for his work with The Dogs D'Amour as well as an extensive solo catalogue. As well as performing vocals, guitars and other instruments, he also illustrates the album covers in his own recognisable style.
In 1982 Tyla was serving as guitarist for the band Bordello Boys. When vocalist Ned Christie joined the band he brought with him a change of name, which was the beginning of The Dogs D'Amour. On the back of the second of two recording sessions, The Dogs D'Amour were signed to Kumibeat Records in Finland.
The recording and release of The State We're' In was problematic. Ned Christie left the band prior to the recording, resulting in Tyla adopting the role of both guitars and vocals. Additionally, the production encountered a number of issues, most notably the album producer remixing everything to add synths, against the band's wishes. The album was released on vinyl in Finland but Kumibeat Records folded shortly after. The Kumibeat mix has never been released on CD or in any format outside of Finland. A cassette-sourced copy of the original mix has since been released, although has been criticised for its sound quality.
When Bratz was originally released in 2001, there were only 4 characters: Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade. These four were produced in the majority of Bratz lines and are the main characters of the Bratz. In 2015, a new character, Raya, was introduced as the fifth main character. Over 10 years after the debut of the Bratz, over 100 characters were added to the Bratz world.
A list of past and current Bratz characters:
Main Characters
If you really loved me
Like you say you do
You wouldn't put me through
half the things like you do.
Sometimes you make me feel like there
is nothing else.
Then you leave me in this cold place
looking for help.
It used to be free
but the price went up, like everything else
I have nothing left to sell
In the boot sale in hell.
When I lost my address book
I also lost my friends
But I know you'll always want me
If I ever make it again. But as fornow
I'm content with my stories, and my memory
serves me well, there's a distant face
lives in Camden, says to drip by
I might as well. I have nothing more
left to say.
I'll just curl up in my memories
