Tyler, The Creator must be getting ready to announce his next album because it’s been two years since he dropped his last project and has now released two new singles. Following “Who Dat Boy” featuring A$AP Rocky, Tyler drops “911 / Mr. Lonely” featuring Frank Ocean.
On the latter Tyler teams up with his teammate Franky Ocean to recreate The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” with the same melody and cadence. “Call me some time (Ring, ring, ring) / Please bang my line, you know I’ll answer / Call me some time (Ring, ring, ring) / Please bang my line.”
The single includes additional vocals from Steve Lacy, Anna of the North, and ScHoolboy Q.
If an album is on the horizon for Tyler it would be the first since 2015’s ‘Cherry Bomb.’ It would make sense as he’s dropped albums in a bi-yearly pattern starting with his freshman album ‘Goblin’.
Listen to “911 / Mr. Lonely” below.
