Simply put, Tyler, the Creator’s IGOR is brilliant. His work has always been raw but on this outsider soul album, it’s raw in an entirely different way—it’s intensely emotional and vulnerable, a collection of songs that show The Creator spreading his wings into a whole new realm of lyrical and stylistic possibilities. He sings more than raps, giving voice to heartache, loss, and growth in a way that hits you in the gut when you least expect it. Tyler, the Creator produced, wrote and arranged all the tracks on this must-hear album; it’s a major evolution for the artist and should end up on loads of year-end “best of” lists.
