The anticipation builds as Tyler, the Creator drops a tantalizing teaser for his upcoming project, suggesting that fresh music is just around the corner. This hints at the rapper’s first release since 2021’s acclaimed album, Call Me If You Get Lost.
An Intriguing Glimpse into ‘St. Chroma’
On Wednesday, Tyler set social media ablaze with a cryptic 90-second teaser titled “St. Chroma.” In the clip, an enigmatic, masked Tyler leads a procession of similarly dressed figures into a gigantic shipping container emblazoned with “Chromakopia.” The visual journey shifts dramatically from sepia tones to vivid color before the shipping container meets a fiery end, exploding in a captivating finale.
- The teaser was shared across Tyler’s social media platforms and YouTube, each featuring a unique caption.
- On Instagram, he wrote: “1. st chroma.”
- The YouTube caption read simply: “8.”
This visual spectacle leaves fans buzzing with speculation about what “Chromakopia” and the number “8” might signify in Tyler’s artistic universe.
Recent Performances Fuel Speculation
Tyler’s last studio album, Call Me If You Get Lost, dropped in 2021, followed by a deluxe version in 2023 titled Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale. Since then, he’s lent his voice to collaborations, notably on Pharrell Williams’ track “Cash In Cash Out,” but the absence of new solo material has left fans eagerly waiting.
This year, Tyler has headlined major music festivals, including Coachella and the recent Austin City Limits, showcasing his dynamic performance style. However, he did skip Lollapalooza and Outside Lands, raising eyebrows among fans. While he lit up the ACL stage, there were no new songs to be found in his setlist, leaving many to wonder if he’s saving something special for the upcoming release.
