As you become somewhat lost in the chaotic soundscape he creates, he brings you back to reality with 3 or 4 chords played in succession on some weird-synth-keys that miraculously break the noise barrier, creating a tension that you’ll recognize as uniquely “Tyler.” He creates moments like this as the song progresses, and moves what was initially stuck in that small room to a composition that expands out with many elements and layers. This song in particular is extremely loud and sounds as if you’re standing in a small room with speakers blaring directly into your ears – the drums and Tyler’s voice are the only instruments that come through clearly. Cherry Bomb is an ambitious jazzy-punk-rock-death-metal reinterpretation of what we know as “hip-hop.” While it recycles formulas that recall the days of “Skateboard P” and his motley crew, N.E.R.D, it’s also quite innovative and is in some ways something that has never been done before.įor example, songs like CHERRY BOMB that are heavily influenced by rock and death metal aesthetics may initially come off as a bit aggressive. But have you listened to All Day? Yeah, it was OK! I don’t know how it fits into the context of Kanye’s upcoming album So Help Me God, so I’m in no place to judge it thoroughly, but when heard next to Tyler the Creator’s first single off of Cherry Bomb (FUCKING YOUNG/PERFECT), it sounds used, tired, and kind of boring. If you’ve reached said conclusion and you haven’t listened to the album in full, I suggest you do, but if you have… I SUGGEST YOU TRY AGAIN.Ĭan we be done with this “oh, well, I mean obviously, it was the best song on the album because Kanye is the best producer to ever walk this planet” nonsense? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about Ye. You’ve probably listened to the song, SMUCKERS, and decided that with Ye’s legendary verse sandwiched between Tyler’s catchy intro and Lil Wayne’s proclamation as the “master of ceremonies,” it was, without a doubt, the best song on the album. So, you’ve gotten word that Kanye has a (FIRE) verse on Tyler, the Creator’s new album, Cherry Bomb.
