Considering it his BEST work is difficult for me to say, as I’ve legitimately been listening to him since Middle School, and this album is roughly 2 weeks old.
Tyler tells a full-fledged love story in 12 songs without even using his actual voice (or at least with the bare minimum amount of it).Īs an avid Tyler the Creator fan, I can wholeheartedly say that this is some of his better work. Tyler’s use of tone-deaf harmonization, voice modification, and humming throughout the songs give the album the “zest” it needs.
Paak’s “Malibu” are albums I would place in the category of “Deceptively cohesive”. For reference, albums such as ScHoolboy Q’s “Oxymoron” Or Anderson. I LOVE that about great albums, the sense that you’re listening to one extremely lengthy song means that the artist(s) did a fantastic job in reaching their goal or telling the story they are looking to tell. The album is deceptively cohesive, as it meshes together perfectly and almost makes the listener miss the transition into the next song. The album fosters some fantastic songs, such as “EARFQUAKE” (featuring Playboi Carti), “RUNNING OUT OF TIME”, “ARE WE STILL FRIENDS”, and a handful of others. From hardcore death metal undertones to bass guitars and pianos, Tyler obviously is enjoying his new found passion for softer toned music. This somewhat modernized Jazz/Hip-Hop mashup of an album sought to reach the REAL Tyler fans its strays so far away from his norm that he almost tests to the listeners to see who is actually paying attention to his growth as an artist. To put any of Tyler’s music in a genre is almost a slap in the face to his art, but I will do my best job to do so. This 12 song piece of art arguably is one of his largest leaps towards his audience (which is saying something considering this is the same artist that ate a roach not too long ago in one of his first Music videos), in the sense that he attempted to really experiment with different sounds as well as implement his ever-loved piano talents.
#Igor full album series
This becomes increasingly apparent in his 6th album “IGOR”, in which Tyler explores a series of almost Jazz-like tones and melodies.
Artists like Pharrell and Kanye come to mind when I think of Tyler, as they are all very open and seem to lack the fear of stepping outside of the box. As far as creativity goes, MTV Music Award-winning Tyler (The Creator) rivals some of the most talented producers of our time.
