Nearly two years after releasing his Grammy-winning album “Call Me If You Get Lost,” Tyler, The Creator has just released “Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale,” a deluxe version of the album with previously unheard tracks. These eight brand-new songs showcase Tyler’s abilities to the fullest, both on his own and in collaboration with other skilled artists like A$AP Rocky and Vince Staples.

“Call Me If You Get Lost” was the first album I made with a lot of songs that didn’t make the final cut,” Tyler admitted in a tweet. “Some of those songs I really love and knew they would never see the light of day, so I’ve decided to put a few of them out.”

As a Tyler, The Creator fan who occasionally listens to his past albums, “Igor” and “Flower Boy,” I was looking forward to this new album since many are religiously packed with a variety of subtly interpreted emotional themes. While I personally prefer music where the beat and tempo blend together rather than music where the singing and/or lyrical message are more prominent, the more I listen to it, the more I can’t help but appreciate this album as a whole.

“Everything Must Go,” the opening track of the record, is a brief interlude in which DJ Drama and Tyler reflect on the accomplishments of CMIYGL, including his sold-out tour and his second Grammy for best rap album. The same cords and vocals that styled CMIYGL’s outro, “Safari,” at the track’s beginning served as an excellent transition for an old album made new, making it a great choice for the opening. Throughout the interlude, Tyler thanks his fans for their unwavering support in a manner that is so upbeat and uplifting that you can almost imagine the smile on his face.

A$AP Rocky appears on the fourth of the album’s eight recently released songs, “Wharf Talk,” which is Tyler’s particular favorite. Although this song isn’t my favorite, I can definitely see why Tyler likes it. It has a calming, upbeat vibe and sweet lyrics that range from being worry-free to the adventure that love unfolds, and the background vocals with the understated beat really tie it all together. This song shows how dynamic Tyler is with his music and the work he puts into making it. While most of Tyler’s songs don’t place a lot of emphasis on singing, when they do, like in the case of this song and another well-known song called “Earfquake,” it’s incredible.

The last song on the record, “Sorry Not Sorry,” is undoubtedly my favorite because I find it to be one of Tyler’s most vulnerable and profoundly moving songs. Tyler uses several beat switches in the song to offer people in his life either an apology or a non-apology. The album certainly ended on a high note with this song serving as its final track, particularly with the music video, which features Tyler Baudelaire and every other character from his previous albums being killed off by Shirtless Tyler, a new alter ego for a possible future album. As he explores serious issues like family relationships and sexuality, which many people can relate to and may be struggling with, the emotion that this song evokes says volumes. This music has such profound lyrical content that I would listen to it repeatedly.

I guarantee that this deluxe record is worth your time even though it only contains eight songs, each of which lasts just over three minutes and 30 seconds. Tyler has been careful about which tracks appear on each of his albums, tweaking each one to achieve his distinct musical vision for each one and this album is no exception. Overall, I have no doubt that this will be another Grammy-winning record with powerful lyrics that are impossible not to adore.
