Overview
This is an album that really showcases Tyler’s evolution as an artist. It's a bold leap from the previous album - while keeping the foundations built on ‘Flower Boy’, Tyler has perfected those elements and added a Funkier, more R&B-influenced sound that makes for a truly interesting album. It’s a work filled with themes of love, jealousy, and heartbreak, yet still manages to find a vibe that is joyous and danceable. The love triangle theme of ‘IGOR’ is a great concept, and Tyler has truly put his emotions on the table here to create a brilliant selection of tunes.
Recommended for both people in love and heartbroken, looking for a bit of self-discovery.

This distorted, almost mannequin-like appearance reflects the album's themes of identity, heartbreak, and transformation. It showcases the emotional complexity of the album, blending beauty and strangeness. Of course, the name Igor is a Gothic character often depicted as somewhat of a monster, and I feel like Tyler has tried to incorporate that image here.
