Two years removed from 2017's GRAMMY-nominated Flower Boy, Tyler, the Creator has announced his fifth studio album, IGOR.
The album is slated for release on May 17.
Prior to this announcement, Tyler released a handful of album snippets on Twitter and YouTube.
The snippets recall sounds closer to his third studio album, 2015's Cherry Bomb.

"It kind of all led up to this."
'IGOR' is André 3000's 'The Love Below' on spiritual acid.
Tyler's fourth full-length album will be released on July 21.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude 'IGOR' is unmistakably a concept album, which is a good thing considering I’m no rocket scientist."
Superstar status for Mr. Creator.
'Flower Boy' is Tyler's best work, but as he explains, it isn't his favorite album.
Tyler uses the act of naming to showcase how powerless—nameless—he is in the face of heartbreak.
With ‘Flower Boy,’ and now ‘IGOR,’ Tyler has finally self-actualized.
