This impossible love of Tyler is what makes this song either insignificant in the grander scheme of the album or the most important piece of the project. While he is very much in love with them, he hates constantly waiting and chasing.’ Furthermore, Tyler’s implying that being this relationship is the only thing that’s on his mind – “You’re the one that’s always running through my day dreams, I, I can only see your face when I close my eyes” Whenever he wakes up this person disappears, and therefore he doesn’t wish to wake up. He depicts his loved one as someone who’s exists beyond what is real.Īs stated in – ‘The person Tyler sings to on this song seems to be his ideal lover, as they only live in his fantasy and dream state. He describes this place as a “fantasy” and a “dream state”. A place where Tyler actually feels happy and loved. It’s a song that takes the listener to another realm, a dreamland. Although it meshes perfectly in a stylistic point of view to the rest of the album, it introduces an idea that could both be the main pillar of the album or be totally unnecessary. However, the song in question, ‘See You Again’, stands out. This void is being filled by material possessions that are also present throughout the albums in a manner of typical hip-hop brags – having loads of cars and money, etc. For the majority of the track-list Tyler is openly expressing his feelings of being alone and lack of friends (most noticeable on songs such as ‘Boredom’, ‘911 / Mr.Lonely’). ‘Flower Boy’ also brought an overarching topic of the album that wasn’t on previous ones. Like bruh my whole carreer ive never got radio play cause i was “too weird” this is a moment wow I just heard “see u again” on the radio and started crying tears of joy omg The song ‘See You Again’ even got played on the radio. It brought more attention to the artist Tyler has always been indicating of becoming. Tyler wasn’t seen as the weird kid making music about abuse and sexual harassment anymore. In other words, it brings the great warm and nostalgic feel of analog, taking advantage of everything today’s music has to offer in terms of quality. Listening to this album feels like watching your favourite film on a VHS tape connected to a 77″ OLED 4k wallpaper TV.
His new sound focuses on harmony, a colourful aesthetic that can be described as dreamy, silky, soft, smooth, rich and warm.
However, his latest project ‘Flower boy’ strays away from the grimy and gritty, brown, unpolished and dirty sound of his earlier works (Bastard, Goblin) and introduces a new side of Tyler’s music that was only slightly hinted previously on songs such as ‘Smuckers’ and ‘Find Your Wings’ from his 2015 album release – Cherry Bomb. His odd imagination, weird lyrics, out-of-the-box instrumentals and an overall unusual sound is what got him into a lot of trouble in the music scene: rap blogs refusing to post Odd Future songs, being banned from countries ( Pearce, Pitchfork), radios not playing his songs, etc. Odd Future are now a popular group with the younger generations, with their own television show ‘Loiter Squad’, all with thanks to Tyler Okonma’s odd imagination. At such a young age Tyler, The Creator became a hit in 2011 with his first single Yonkers, which was a track from his upcoming album, Goblin. In 2008 Tyler, The Creator founded the hip-hop collective Odd Future, a controversial, alternate group. He was born in Boulder, Colorado as Tyler Okonma to a single mother.
Tyler, The Creator is an American musician in all aspects, including producing, directing music videos as well as writing and performing as an artist.
