Tyler, the Creator has made his long-awaited return with his seventh album, Chromakopia, three years after the release of Call Me If You Get Lost. The album pays homage to different phases of Tyler’s career, featuring a mix of styles. Tracks like “Take Your Mask Off” evoke the breezy vibes of Flower Boy, while songs such as “Rah Tah Tah” and “Thought I Was Dead” reflect influences from Wolf and Cherry Bomb. Chromakopia aims to cater to a wide audience while maintaining a sense of nostalgia.
In this 14-track album, Tyler explores deep themes such as paranoia, his aspirations for fatherhood, and the struggles associated with growing up. He collaborates with various artists, including Doechii, Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Daniel Caesar, inviting them into his creative space for an engaging experience. Despite being a seasoned artist with seven albums under his belt, Tyler continues to demonstrate his ability to innovate.
This album signals a fresh chapter for Tyler. After a successful listening party in Los Angeles on October 27, he is set to embark on his Chromakopia: World Tour, starting on February 4 in his hometown, with Lil Yachty and Paris Texas joining him on the tour. As anticipation builds for the tour, fans can dive into the tracks of Chromakopia, with Billboard offering their track rankings for the album.
