“IGOR” is a groundbreaking album by Tyler, The Creator that created history. “IGOR” is an album that was released in 2019 . It’s an interesting journey that blends the elements of funk, soul, hip-hop and some rock.

“IGOR” is about a love triangle between Tyler, his male crush, and his crush’s female love interest. It tells a story about love and heartbreak. In 2017, his other album called “Flower Boy” was the one that sparked up this story. It starts with Tyler falling for someone who is already in a relationship in “EARFQUAKE.” While the relationship becomes more complex, so does the album. There are feelings of jealousy and confusion, like in “NEW MAGIC WAND.” With, “GONE, GONE / THANK YOU,” Tyler comes to accept the fact that the relationship is over, and he expresses gratitude for the experience. At the end with, “ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?,” he gets closure about the situation.

The tracks “EARFQUAKE” and “A BOY IS A GUN” show how Tyler has evolved as an artist. It also shows his creative mind as it leads to the end of the story. The songs are put together amazingly. The album pushes boundaries and the lyrics are heartfelt with top-notch quality.

“EARFQUAKE” is a standout album. It has a catchy, soulful vibe that just pulls you in. It’s about how love is shaking up his world, like an earthquake. “A BOY IS A GUN” is a way of exploring themes of love and identity with clever wordplay to make it real and relatable. “NEW MAGIC WAND” has a darker vibe with intense lyrics. It shows the darker side of love. “GONE, GONE / THANK YOU” is a masterpiece about Tyler’s acceptance that the relationship is over.

Overall, the album is a great masterpiece that really goes into depth about Tyler’s creative intellect.
