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
By a twist of luck I saw you
Last night at JFK
We thought about you constantly
And when I wrote I knew not what to say.
My head was filled with fantasises
Of things I remember you said
The closer that we got, the further
We were pulled apart.
It's a villain's life I'm living,
It's a villain's price I pay.
It's a villain's way of beliving,
That I'll never see you again
It's a villain's life I'm living
It's a villain's world of pain
It's a villain's way believing
I'll never see you again.
I dream your face in visions as I gaze into the past.
I think about what might've been
But the distance made sure it wouldn't last
And I only have your number
Written beneath your name and address
Well it's just another number
