Each artist’s contribution adds a unique dimension, expanding Tyler’s already eclectic soundscape. This project serves as a follow-up to his 2021 Grammy-winning album, CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, continuing Tyler’s commitment to exploring new sonic territories.

The album is rumored to take inspiration from Chroma the Great, a conductor character from Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth, who orchestrates colors with sound. This literary connection aligns with Tyler’s visual and thematic choices, as he embraced a monochromatic aesthetic throughout the album’s promotional cycle.
Tyler’s signature rap style remains intact, but CHROMAKOPIA sees him push his artistry further, incorporating obscure and intricate samples. The album reflects a broader musical exploration, signaling that the artist remains unafraid to evolve. Tyler’s career is defined by reinvention, with each project, from BASTARD to CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, representing a distinct sonic universe. CHROMAKOPIA continues this trend, offering listeners a bold, immersive experience.
CHROMAKOPIA is now available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
