Tyler, the Creator drops new album ‘Chromakopia’ featuring rock-inspired track ‘NOID’

Tyler, the Creator has returned with a new album, Chromakopia, a highly anticipated project from the artist whose genre-blending approach has garnered widespread acclaim since 2018. Released on October 27, the album spans 14 tracks, incorporating rock elements and unique sounds that push Tyler’s artistry in new directions. The lead single, “NOID,” demonstrates this approach, featuring  “rock-infused” vibes with influences of classic bands like Black Sabbath and King Crimson. This musical direction has been met with enthusiasm, but some listeners predict it may be polarizing as fans digest the layered tracks.

On Chromakopia, Tyler includes minimal features, opting for a focus on his distinctive sound and lyrical exploration. As an artist known for IGOR and Call Me If You Get Lost, both critically celebrated projects, Tyler’s new album adds to a growing list of releases that keep fans intrigued.

Chromakopia comes with significant expectations following teasers and cryptic hints shared by Tyler in recent weeks, including announcements for a world tour featuring guest artists Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. As fans weigh in, Chromakopia is already drawing comparisons to his past work and stirring discussions on its potential impact on the year’s best-of lists.
