    Tyler, The Creator: IGOR

    Tyler, The Creator: IGOR

    Welcome to our season long examination of Tyler, The Creator's 2019 album IGOR, where we dissect the music, lyrics, and meaning of one song per episode. We begin with the album's first track "IGOR'S THEME," a mostly instrumental composition full of musical surprises, showcasing Tyler's skills as composer, producer, and arranger. And while subtle, the song's minimal lyrics actually foreshadow the album's narrative.

My favorite podcast ever!

I think it’s so cool to get long forum analysis about the music we all hold close to our hearts but what’s even cooler is to have it done by someone who does it in a way that’s not only informative but with such care and admiration. Cole, you’re the best!
