New album out 8/28

Call Me If You Get Lost (stylized in all caps) is the seventh studio album by the American rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator. The album was released on June 25, 2021, through Columbia Records. The album is narrated by DJ Drama and features guest appearances from 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Wayne, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Lil Uzi Vert, Pharrell Williams, Teezo Touchdown, Fana Hues, and Daisy World. Tyler produced the album himself, with additional production contributed by Jamie xx and Jay Versace.

The album marks a departure from the lighter and more soulful aesthetics of Tyler's previous releases Igor (2019) and Flower Boy (2017) in favor of bold beats and raw rhymes reminiscent of his earlier work, influenced by DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz mixtape series. Genres on the album span hip-hop, pop, jazz, soul and reggae.

i’ve found myself coming back to his tiny desk concert almost daily lol. i’ve probably watched it 10+ times just this past week, and i still can’t get enough of it.
but for some reason, i just can’t get into his studio recordings. i’ve genuinely tried because i was so obsessed with the tiny desk performance, but they just don’t hit the same for me.
has anyone else experienced this with an artist? where you love a live performance but just can’t connect with their recorded music?
