Tyler, the Creator dropped his most personal album to date Oct. 28. “CHROMAKOPIA” explores themes about Tyler’s struggles with love, sexuality and the idea of fatherhood. To get a full week of Billboard chart tracking, artists typically release new music on Fridays at midnight, but Tyler chose to release his album on a Monday at 6 a.m. instead. He said he wanted his fans to be able to listen to the album with their full attention. He also made the creative decision to hide his features upon release, so they do not distract fans from listening to the full album.

After the immense success on her fourth studio album, “I Know I’m Funny haha,” Faye Webster returned with “Underdressed at the Symphony” on March 1, continuing to defy genre norms. Despite the influx of fans and attention, Webster is consistent in her unique sound. Her music is timeless as she explores handling fame and heartbreak, with a rich use of new instruments and gentle melodies.

On "Let's Start Here," Lil Yachty reinvents himself. What is most surprising is how comfortable he seems to be in the world of rock.

The truth is, and always has been, that the coarse, chaotic rhymes of this Florida-born rapper are an acquired taste.

“Gemini” is a complete mess of an album from start to finish.
