Cherry Bomb is Tyler, the Creator's third studio album, a bold experiment at the intersection of hip-hop, punk, and jazz. This release was a turning point in the artist's career, opening the door to a more mature sound in his future work. The album combines dirty, distorted beats with velvety melodies and live instruments. From the aggressive intro of ‘Deathcamp’ to the tender ‘Find Your Wings,’ Tyler demonstrates his ambition as a producer and his inner struggle between chaos and harmony. Guest artists include Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Schoolboy Q, and Kali Uchis. Cherry Bomb is not an album to be listened to in the background: it demands attention and provokes a reaction.
