Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2019, 'Igor' marked Tyler, the Creator's fifth studio album and followed his critically acclaimed 'Flower Boy' from 2017. At this point, he had evolved from the brash provocateur of Odd Future to a more introspective artist, exploring themes of love and identity. This album solidified his status as a boundary-pushing figure in contemporary music.
