The videos that have trickled through from this project so far have nods to Anderson too, particularly Brown Sugar Salmon. We know how much Anderson loves a train and some luggage and it seems Tyler does too.Īpologies to those in the Southern Hemisphere but this is a summer record. He turned up to the Grammys at the beginning of 2020 in an outfit that felt like it was lifted straight from The Grand Budapest Hotel and that aesthetic is carried across into Call Me If You Get Lost. Tyler has always been vocal about his favourite filmmaker is Wes Anderson. Fans were surprised to see YoungBoy Never Broke Again included on the credits for WUSYANAME. Less surprising is the inclusion of 42 Dugg who drew high praise from Tyler last year for his collaboration with Lil Baby We Paid. The new names represent the new guard of hip-hop and R&B.
Lil Uzi Vert also reappears here after delivering an off-kilter feature on IGOR's Igor's Theme. Meanwhile, both Pharrell and Lil Wayne appear - they're both longtime heroes for Tyler and have featured on multiple records. Domo Genesis, who has been featuring on Tyler records since his debut Goblin is here. Tyler's albums are always guest-heavy whether they're used prominently or distantly (like on IGOR). Here, he brings in a lot of old favourites.
With each Tyler album, he adds a few more collaborators to his toolkit. Another stunning achievement by a producer whose head is a music box. He moves through jazz, industrial rap, '80s R&B, and Caribbean sound throughout the record. You won't find another producer on the credits here which is wild considering all the trips that Tyler takes on this. Once again, Tyler has written and composed the album by himself. There's no doubt that this record is personal, however, so Baudelaire seems to stand more as an aesthetic alter-ego more than anything else. Baudelaire seems to be a train and boat hopping man of mystery. There's a new character to meet on this record - Tyler Baudelaire. “He goes by the name of The Creator but you can call him Tyler Baudelaire," announced DJ Drama at the start of the record. That's a stark contrast to IGOR that contained only 41.5% of rap, according to Hip Hop Numbers. In fact, there's almost no song on the album where Tyler leaves rap out of it. When Tyler released IGOR back in 2019 he tweeted, "DON'T GO INTO THIS EXPECTING A RAP ALBUM." He then collected the Grammy for Best Rap Album and called it "a backhanded compliment." As far back as 2014, he's made it clear that he doesn't really like rapping, but it seems that he's backflipped on that with Call Me When You Get Lost. This is a rap-heavy record. These are our first thoughts while listening to the album, his longest since Goblin. He's spent the last few weeks teasing the record with a hotline, video teasers and the single LUMBERJACK but now it's here in its 16-track glory.
