“Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale” by Tyler, the Creator dropped on March 31 after a two year break from the release of the original album, “Call Me If You Get Lost.” The popular artist Tyler, the Creator’s goal of this album was to put out the songs that didn’t make the final cut for the original album. Along with his other albums like “Igor” and “Flower Boy,” this is definitely one of my favorites. The songs on this album are amazing with a run time of one hour and 17 minutes. 

 

“Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale” is a deluxe from the original “Call Me If You Get Lost.” This is Tyler, the Creator’s 7th studio album, and since the release, it has already made Top 3 on Billboard 200. This album is released on all streaming services and includes features from Brent Fayiez, DaisyWorld, Vince Staples, A$ap Rocky and YG.

 

One of the most popular songs and one of my personal favorites on the new album that was a single at first is “Dogtooth,” which talks about the passion for another girl. Tyler starts the song saying that he is different from other people’s needs with women, with the lyric, “I don’t want anything in return,” meaning that he just wants a woman’s time and love. We are presented with piano keys syncing well with the snare beats. Supporting the melody is a hard beat drop that flows with the song to keep it appealing to listeners. During the chorus, the synth stays the same with Tyler keeping up the same heat into the lyrics, ending the song with the lyrics “Dogtooth, Dogtooth.”

 

Another single from the deluxe album is “Sorry Not Sorry,” which is also another popular song and great listen compared to “Dogtooth.” It starts off with a calm Tyler expressing himself saying “I’m sorry” continuing with the soft and calm beats flowing into the lyrics. Tyler explains that he wishes that he could’ve done better with his characters and behaviors. The song then goes on with Tyler saying sorry to all the lies and people he’s let down. The song ends with the beat flowing hard and Tyler speaking with aggression to ease the song with the lyrics ”We’re gone.” 

 

“HEAVEN TO ME” reflects on giving listeners the concept of heaven in their own way, and to find happiness and pursue their own dreams. The chorus transitions to Tyler who goes on to reminisce about his life, while being thankful. He says,  “No stress I bleed, I don’t got a boss, I go whenever and don’t care bout the cost, gas money was a stark for me.”  It then goes on with the same soft beats, with Tyler explaining his “heaven 24/7” being blessed as “hell” for being able to dress well, and not going to jail. This song is beautiful with the way Tyler is able to describe his Heaven and speak about his life of fame. He also talks about his past life and what his heaven was then. Despite all of this, ”Heaven to me” has very similar beats to “Sorry not Sorry” being calm and speaking about life.

 

“STUNTMAN (feat.Vince Staples)” is one of my lows for this album. It doesn’t really fit the criteria for the new songs on the deluxe album. It starts off with Tyler saying “show ya how to stunt” with Vince Staples coming in hard to throw in some fire lyrics, but after that the song kind of falls apart with Tyler repeating the same thing over and over again. Throughout the song it just feels like something is missing. 

 

Overall,“Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale” is a great piece of music. For me, this has to be one of his best albums. Tyler just keeps getting better and better every time he releases a new piece of music, being able to exceed expectations. The steady flow and calm beats with the lyrics mixed together really nicely. I can’t wait to see what Tyler, the Creator has planned for us in the future and I’m glad to take part in this journey.
