“Following the razor sharp pop-perfection of IGOR, Tyler’s latest opus is a big ol’, bar-heavy ode to opulence, partly narrated by DJ Drama (!). Across the videos, we got to see just how defined Tyler’s aesthetic vision has become.Īgain, IGOR and Flower Boy showed Tyler piecing a wider story together, but contrasting in the roll out and execution of this album to his earlier work - it’s clear to see that Tyler’s scope for how the album should land (in all its elements) has matured and with it, so has its stylised aesthetic.

The lead up to Call Me If You Get Lost’s release was marked by a series of teaser skits that at first, made us think there was a short film from Tyler in the works. The raw, overriding energy of early Odd Future cuts are doused in the soul of IGOR, it shows off Tyler’s absolute craft in not only production but his lyricism.” Nick Findlay “The opening track 'SIR BAUDELAIRE' sets you up for the trip Tyler is about to take you on, but at the same time Call Me If You’re Lost continues to catch you off guard. It’s A Rap Reminderĭon’t get it twisted:, Tyler - for all of his genre bending turns over the years - is a rapper.Ĭall Me If You Get Lost is a refreshing reminder of his natural lyrical skills, brought together with the soulful energy that flourished right across 2019’s IGOR. Though, having sat with its 16 tracks for some days, we’ve got some initial thoughts. There’s so much to unpack with the album, it’s impossible to deliver a definitive review of Call Me If You Get Lost within a week of release. The addition of DJ Drama provides an unexpected hit of nostalgia to his Gangsta Grillz days without disrupting the pastel-tinged, Wes Anderson-esque aesthetic of the album. Here, the lyrics are introspective without losing any of the edge fans know and love Tyler for. Tyler’s latest album - Call Me If You Get Lost - is a moment of evolution and elevation for the now 30 year old artist. His latest live show suggests he’s still on track. He's been told he’s going to change hip hop for a decade.
