Tyler, the Creator is set to release a new album, Chromakopia, on October 28, marking his first major release since 2021’s Call Me If You Get Lost. Following a brief teaser video titled “St. Chroma,” which dropped just a day earlier, the artist confirmed the album’s imminent arrival, sparking a wave of speculation among fans and industry watchers alike.
Chromakopia is expected to be a continuation of Tyler’s evolution as an artist, though details remain sparse. True to form, Tyler himself has kept most specifics under wraps. What is known, however, is that he’s taken full creative control over the project, handling the writing, arranging, and production of the album. Given his track record, it’s a move that aligns with Tyler’s hands-on approach and distinct sonic vision.
The anticipation surrounding Chromakopia is no surprise. Tyler, the Creator has managed to shift from the provocative early days of Goblin and Wolf into a more mature, nuanced artist. His last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, won critical praise for its introspective themes and genre-blending soundscapes. The album even secured Tyler his second Grammy for Best Rap Album, solidifying his position as one of today’s most innovative voices in music.
With Chromakopia, fans are curious to see if Tyler will continue to explore the themes of identity and transformation that have coloured his recent work. The “St. Chroma” teaser video offers a few clues, featuring the vibrant colours and surreal imagery that often populate Tyler’s visuals. Still, without a tracklist or further commentary from Tyler, the full scope of the project remains a mystery.
In typical Tyler fashion, he’s letting the work speak for itself, holding back on lengthy promotional campaigns or in-depth interviews. Whether Chromakopia will echo the expansive, travel-inspired beats of Call Me If You Get Lost or take listeners somewhere entirely new, we’ll have to wait until October 28 to find out.
