\n\tAs promised<\/a>, Tyler, the Creator released his new album Don\u2019t Tap the Glass on Monday morning, just days after the rapper revealed his surprise follow-up to 2024\u2019s Chromakopia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 10-track LP, out via Columbia Records, is the rapper\u2019s ninth album. It clocks in at 28 minutes and 30 seconds, with no special guests noted on the track list. Tyler, the Creator wrote<\/a> on social media that the music is \u201cMADE FOR BODY MOVEMENT. FULL VOLUME.\u201d Listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI asked some friends why they don\u2019t dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed,\u201d Tyler shared in a social media statement<\/a>. \u201cI thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost. It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time. I just got back from a \u2018listening party\u2019 for this album and man was it one of the greatest nites of my life. 300 people. No phones allowed. no cameras, just speakers and a sweatbox. Everyone was dancing, moving, expressing, sweating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cIt was truly beautiful. I played the album front to back twice. It felt like that pent up energy finally got released and we craved the idea of letting more of it out there was a freedom that filled the room. a ball of energy that might not translate to every speaker that plays this album but man did that room nail it. This album was not made for sitting still, dancing, driving, running. Any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his show in Brooklyn on July 18, Tyler shouted out the album title and outside his concert at Barclays Center there was a massive\u00a0figure enclosed<\/a>\u00a0in a clear box that read \u201cDon\u2019t Tap the Glass.\u201d Tyler confirmed<\/a> the album and its impending July 21 arrival (as well as a preorder page<\/a>) on social media soon after.<\/p>\n

\n\tA few days prior, the rapper hinted that something would be heading to fans next week, with Tyler sharing images on Instagram of a Louis Vuitton bag, a mannequin\u2019s head, and a trumpet player in a band uniform all labeled with the date July 21. Last month,\u00a0Doechii\u00a0and Tyler previewed their new Pharrell-produced track \u201cGet Right<\/a>\u201d during Louis Vuitton\u2019s fashion show in Paris. That collaboration does not appear on\u00a0Don\u2019t Tap the Glass.<\/p>\n

\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n

\n\tDon\u2019t Tap the Glass\u00a0is Tyler\u2019s ninth album, following\u00a0last year\u2019s\u00a0Chromakopia<\/a>, which arrived just nine months ago in October 2024. That album featured a hefty list of collaborators including Doechii, Childish Gambino, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Santigold, Teezo Touchdown, Schoolboy Q, and Sexyy Red; prior to Don\u2019t Tap the Glass\u2019 arrival, a similarly all-star guest list was rumored, but Tyler shot down those rumors on social media<\/a> this past weekend: \u201cNONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ON THIS, I DID NOT POST THIS INFO I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THIS FROM TO CONFIRM IT.\u201d<\/p>\n
