Tyler the Creator’s album, Chromakopia, released on October 28th, 2024. This album made headlines quickly as it was Tyler’s first time releasing an album since 2021 which was Call me if you get lost. After years of evolving from his early rap days to more complex sounds, Tyler is once again pushing the boundaries of music. This album mixes a ton of different styles, from psychedelic rock to avant-garde jazz, while still keeping his unique vibe of weirdness and creativity.

Many people have gone deeper into the album than just the songs themselves. The album name, Chromakopia, is a combination of both “chroma” (which means vibrant or colorful) and “utopia” (which means a perfect world or society). This title explains the whole album’s theme, a perfect society or world with vibrant colors. The trailer of the album also shows this by being in black in white until Tyler sets off a explosion and brings in super vibrant colors, such as lime green and bright yellow.

Lyrically, Chromakopia dives deep into Tyler’s thoughts on fame, identity, and growth. He shows in some of his songs about the pressure of being out in public while trying to do normal stuff for himself. Other songs, like “Pastel Haze” and “Infinite Spectrum,” in the album talk about Tyler’s personal life, like his struggles and how he loves creating music. The album also features some cool collaborations, like with the band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and indie pop group Kero Kero Bonito. Overall, Chromakopia shows that Tyler is still one of the most creative and unpredictable artists out there today.
