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.

'IGOR' is André 3000's 'The Love Below' on spiritual acid.
"It kind of all led up to this."
Superstar status for Mr. Creator.
Tyler uses the act of naming to showcase how powerless—nameless—he is in the face of heartbreak.
"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."
With ‘Flower Boy,’ and now ‘IGOR,’ Tyler has finally self-actualized.
Between 'IGOR' and 'Shea Butter Baby,' we get a full picture of love’s gnawing qualities.
Tyler's fourth full-length album will be released on July 21.
