Tyler, The Creator returned yesterday with new music in the form of a short, thrilling teaser titled “St. Chroma.” The mini-song, when announced yesterday, appeared to be part of a larger project called Chromakopia—which Tyler has since revealed will be a new album arriving on October 28. The teaser features Tyler whispering a verse after a chorus of vocalists singing the titular term “Chromakopia.” He raps: “I ain’t never had a doubt inside me / And if I ever told you that I did, I’m fucking lying / Can you feel the light?” The bridge is handled by Daniel Caesar.
In the accompanying video, which is pretty staggeringly awesome and highlights just how brilliant Tyler is as a visual artist, the rapper trudges through a sepia-toned field donning a mask, surrounded by fellow marchers. The video turns to color as a shipping container with “CHROMAKOPIA” written on its side explodes.
