With 2021’s sun-flecked ‘Call Me If You Get Lost,’ Odd Future ringleader Tyler, The Creator put ahead an eclectic, genre-hopping love letter to the music that made him, and in addition mirrored on his personal private development. “The record stands as an all-encompassing culmination of Tyler’s ever-varying sound, showing that growth isn’t always linear and that artists can be a multitude of things,” learn our NME evaluation. “On ‘Call Me…’, Tyler cements his place as a generational talent, one in fine form and continuing to push the boundaries of his vision and kaleidoscopic sound.”
As the rapper has since defined in a tweet, periods for the file have been so productive that he ended up with a whole cache of leftovers – now launched within the type of deluxe version ‘Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale’. Joining the NME Radio A List, lead single ‘Dogtooth’ fuses his attribute wit with a easy, flowing nod to noughties hip-hop. Lyrically, it pushes again towards the misogyny of judging companions by their “body count” and viewing pleasure as transactional. “She could ride my face, I don’t want nothin’ in return,” he quips, “her body count and who she fuck ain’t never my concern.” Other new additions embody the return of Georgia, the playful classic-rock twang of Jenny Lewis’ ‘Psycho’ and Scowl’s snarling new EP title-track ‘Psychic Dance Routine’.
