Have you listened to it? Are you going to? If not, I do recommend giving it a chance. However, I will say that this is quickly positioning itself at the top of Tyler’s discography (in my opinion) and possibly even my year-end list if this initial buzz doesn’t wear off.

This album has only just entered my life, so I will not be trying to convince anyone that this is the aforementioned classic album and I was right all along. Proclaiming himself as Flower Boy T with that gravelly voice and irascible disposition befitting a proprietor of a rust-belt collision shop, Tyler. I have worried for some time now that Tyler may never release the classic album that I so boldly predicted he would back when I was 17 and a virgin.Īnyway, I stuck “Flower Boy” on Spotify and had a listen.

“Cherry Bomb” was a massive disappointment in my opinion, and the singles released in the build-up to this new project struggled to hold my attention. A couple of years ago, I would have been waiting for it to drop at midnight and sticking it straight on, but the world has changed and I’ve changed with it. It’s not all dreamy-watch out for the occasional profane pothole-but largely this is the work of an evolved artist and mature person.

I have finally gotten around to giving Tyler, The Creator’s new album, “Flower Boy”, a full listen front-to-back. Tyler has not openly come out as gay, however he began to openly discuss his sexuality in his 2017 album Flower Boy, specifically with the song Garden Shed, the lyrics of which go: Garden shed, garden shed, garden shed, garden shed/For the garden/That is where I was hidin’/That was real love I was inAin’t no reason to pretend. Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Kali Uchis, Syd, and Estelle are among 11 supporting cast members, not one of whom is inessential to the whole. If anything, Flower Boy captures Tyler at his least tormented and twisted it is an album of exquisitely arranged, melodious synth-rap, wistful and reflective, heavy on the heavenly.
