The inclusion of a preliminary track was an important step in making this album flow like a story with every song you are taken through a journey of love and life. Opening the album is the ominous “IGOR’S THEME” where a bass-heavy drum beat dominates the introduction. Apple Music has capitalized on the early success of “IGOR” to bring in more listeners to the platform – a live music performance which was tweeted out a few days after the release of the album and demonstrates “IGOR’s” chance for commercial success. His quirky, confident nature shines through in every track, lending itself to an intimate experience between the listener and artist. In his newest album, Tyler doesn’t hold back. “IGOR” is Tyler the Creator’s personal awakening as he establishes his unique style within the music community. Out of the twelve songs in “IGOR,” there is something for everyone-a summery smash hit, alternative titles for those with a more niche music taste as well as less traditional but equally catchy songs. I have more country in me than people think.Following his 2017 album “Flower Boy,” Tyler the Creator’s newest creative vision “IGOR” features a series of titles that encapsulate his newfound wild energy. “I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire. “I think country is the new rock & roll,” he told Rolling Stone Country at last year’s CMA Awards. Joe Perry, his longtime guitar foil in the Boston band, has already released two solo albums, as well as his work with the Joe Perry Project, but the Big Machine release marks Tyler’s first ever solo album. It’s interesting to note that Tyler, a vocalist synonymous with rock, has chosen the country genre in which to spread his wings. I was like, ‘I have to play that thing,'” says Barlowe. “He said Johnny Depp had given it to him. The second song they wrote with Tyler is on the more rocking side, driven by a cigar-box guitar the 67-year-old singer brought to the studio. “It’s obviously not going to be traditional country or old-school country sounding, but he does want mandolin and a banjo in there, to change it up.” But he’s been talking about how he wants some of it to be organic,” says Barlowe. “Everything he sings is going to sound a little like Aerosmith, because he’s the voice. Barlowe describes one as “an old classic Aerosmith love ballad,” with him playing acoustic guitar and mandolin, and Tyler on piano. He and his brother Nathan, along with Barlowe’s fiancée Hillary Lindsey, have already written two songs with Tyler. Songwriter Cary Barlowe echoes Johnston’s thoughts. “I’ve been working with some fucking epic Nashville songwriters, getting my feet wet with the style and groove.” My earliest influences put me somewhere between the Everly Brothers and the Carter Family, and this project is all about me paying homage to my country roots,” Tyler says. “There was an immediate connection with Scott and Big Machine, and Nashville seems like the perfect segue for a solo project. So far he’s collaborated with writers like Paslay, Hillary Lindsey, Cary Barlowe and the Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston. While no specific release date or title has been announced, the album, set for release later this year, will feature songs that Tyler has already been writing and recording in Nashville over the past few months. Rolling Stone Country can exclusively confirm that the Aerosmith frontman has signed a deal with Dot Records, the legendary label that Scott Borchetta and his Big Machine Label Group revived last year, to release his debut solo album. After strutting onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry during Eric Paslay’s performance last week and teasing his upcoming country album, Steven Tyler has made it official.
