The details on this song are amazing, it takes multiple listens to really take in all the details in the instrumental. This song is so beautiful, particularly with the refrain “My love’s gone” throughout the beginning of the track. The album ends beautifully with the tracks like “GONE GONE/THANK YOU”. The instrumental break at the second half of the song followed by a Tyler verse and beautiful vocal melodies works extremely well. This song is like if Frank Ocean made a louder song, and it works well. The song “RUNNING OUT OF TIME” takes Tyler’s strengths as a rap producer and translates them into a beautifully complex, chilled out song. The other half of this album sees Tyler the Creator taking more of an R&B approach, which is also done extremely successfully. The details on this song are extremely impressive, from spontaneous piano, synth, and guitar solos, to altering the beat with seemingly every repetition. The vocal refrains on this song are top notch as well. It’s like a climax happens every few seconds. The beat repeats every four measures, but takes a unique twist with every repetition, making it an extremely dynamic and impressive song. This song is amazing.įrom there Tyler transitions into “A BOY IS A GUN”, which uses sampling extremely effectively.
Near the end of the song, the climax has the bass go even harder and Tyler has an amazing flow. A massive strength of the album is how Tyler gets the listener to feel the vibe of the song not only through the instrumental, but also through tiny vocal details, like the recurring riff “Please don’t leave me”. The song transitions towards multiple vocal motifs that work extremely well. The song “NEW MAGIC WAND” is an excellent rap song, the beat structured with a dark, booming bass with chirpy percussion. The sound of the album is unlike anything I’ve heard from Tyler before. That being said, this album is still a journey. However, I sort of saw this as half baked, due to the lack of depth of the story in the lyrics. That being said, this album has a loose concept to it, seeing Tyler fall in and out of love with someone through the album. This album is instrumental heavy the lyrics are often either simple or sparse, particularly on songs like “IGOR’S THEME” and “EARFQUAKE”. It creates an interesting dynamic, even more polar than Flower Boy. The album cover says it all, the album somehow balances pink, lovey dovey sounds with freakish, almost gothic levels of bass and percussion. This album is not nearly as beautiful as Flower Boy, but instead goes in a different direction.
This album combines the excellent dynamic songwriting of Flower Boy with the abrasive, harsh sounds of Cherry Bomb. There are some songs on here with no rapping and only vocals, some from Tyler himself. Even his last album saw Tyler’s rapping take a backseat to the instrumentals and features, but this album takes it to a whole new level. My hype for his new album was immense, due to how much I loved his previous album. The album had both beautiful songs and bangers there was stuff to love for everybody. Flower Boy was a masterful combination of slick, clean, beautiful R&B and Tyler’s signature rapping style. Tyler burst onto the scene with albums such as Goblin and Wolf, as well as through Odd Future, but I was introduced to him through his 2017 album Flower Boy, one of my favorite albums of that year.
Tyler the Creator, former leader of the defunct rap group Odd Future, has been praised for having a strong artistic vision his music from album to album has a specific aesthetic that is fully explored throughout the track list. Tyler the Creator is a man of many talents, from rapping, to producing, to singing, and even fashion design. Tyler the Creator released his sixth studio album titled IGOR last Friday.
