It’s an impressive array of guests
Tyler, The Creator has unveiled new album ‘IGOR’ – and it’s headed up by an impressive array of guests including Frank Ocean, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.
The fifth studio album from the Odd Future leader sees Frank Ocean appearing on ‘Running Out Of Time’, while ‘New Magic Wand’ sees guest spots from both ASAP Rocky and Santigold.
Arguably the biggest cameo is saved for late on, when Kanye appears on ‘Puppet’. It comes ahead of ‘Are We Still Friends’ – which closes the record with an appearance from Pharrell Williams.
When it comes to listening to the new record, Tyler has also published a set of surprise rules too.

“I believe the first listen works best all the way through, no skips, front to back,” Tyler writes.
“No distractions either, no checking your phone, no watching TV, no holding convo, full attention towards the sounds where you can form your own opinions and feelings towards the album. Some go on walks, some drive, some lay in bed and sponge it all up. Whatever it is you choose, fully indulge, with volume.
“As much I would like to paint a picture and tell you my favourite moments, I would rather you form your own, if we ever cross paths, feel free to articulate what those moments were for you, keep it timely tho I’m not tryna have an Oprah episode. Stank you smelly mucho.”
Tyler originally announced IGOR last week – marking his first record since 2017’s ‘Flower Boy’.
In a four-star review, NME hailed it as his best record yet.
“Backed by a supporting cast of R&B superstars and bright newcomers, it’s a record of long, lazy summers; sitting back and staring at the clouds,” our verdict stated.
