''IGOR'' is the fifth studio album by [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Tyler, the Creator]]. It was released on May 17, 2019. The album features notable artists like Music/KanyeWest, Music/CeeLoGreen, and Music/{{Solange}}. The album follows Igor, [[TheIgor who plays with the trope of the same name]], as he falls in and out of love with a close friend. The album marks a shift in Tyler, The Creator's style. Rapping is undoubtably his strength, but the album stands more on pop and R&B-like vocals. It makes use of repetition and synths to help carry the listener through Igor's journey.
