IGOR: Tyler's Gothic Romance

Published: July 19, 2019, 7 a.m.

b'Often, an album is an album. But sometimes an album is a movie. Every song like a scene. When you add them up, there\\u2019s a story with a beginning, middle, and end.\\xa0\\nProjects like this can be infinitely exciting\\u2014but also difficult. With a movie, it\\u2019s a series of physical actions that make logical sense. That\\u2019s easy to follow. With an album, you have to actively listen to every word and piece together poetic verse, emotion, metaphor, simple images, and music into a whole that\\u2019s greater than the sum of its parts. That\\u2019s not so easy.\\xa0\\nBut that\\u2019s why I\'m here to help. My name\\u2019s Chris Lambert, and I explain art. On August 1, the Colossus network will release "Igor: Tyler\\u2019s Gothic Romance", where I\'ll delve into Tyler the Creator\'s latest album, IGOR. I\'ll explain the key components to understanding the album\'s narrative. From there, you can delve into the album with a fresh perspective and new insight about the story Tyler the Creator was trying to tell.\\nWe hope you join us for this Colossus microseries\\u2014providing the insight you want, at a fraction of the time.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
