Tyler, The Creator announces new album “Chromakopia”.

Tyler, the Creator just announced the title and release date of his new album, Chromacopyexpected to be released on October 28thand now available for pre-order. The announcement comes days after Tyler infamously complained about fans harassing him online about new music. Last week, he commented on a Steve Lacy post on Instagram expressing his frustration with fans asking for new music. “I think your shit is annoying, especially when I never said out loud that an album was coming,” Tyler wrote. “I want to be an actress lmao.”

Turns out Tyler had plans up his sleeve all along.

Yesterday he kicked off the release of his new album that fans have been longing for by releasing a snippet of a new song and music video on YouTube. In the clip we hear Tyler in a new voice. His signature production style – the glittering synth chord progressions that doused early OF releases in cartoonish Technicolor – arrived subdued beneath a moodier sonic register. A sign of a distinct musical reinvention that comes naturally to Tyler, whose career to date has followed the rise and fall of his various alter egos as he entered different phases of life. Now, it seems, Tyler is entering new territory. More than a decade into his career, he is an elder statesman of today's youth culture, and this latest sonic turn may capture some of the frustrations he expresses with the current state of music.

In addition to a new album, Tyler's Camp Flog Gnaw Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary next month, giving Tyler, the Creator fans plenty to be excited about over the next few weeks.
