Odd Future leader Tyler, the Creator has reportedly treated fans to an additional track off his new Cherry Bomb album called “Yellow.”
The new track is reportedly a bonus record off the LP and comes with a guest feature.
When you think of Tyler, the Creator, the first word that comes to mind isn’t exactly “soothing,” but that’s the vibe of the Cherry Bomb bonus cut “Yellow.” Featuring Kali Uchis, the track is the closest Tyler has come to making a love song thus far. It’s packed with floral lyrics like “I could tell you was the one / That I been searchin’ for, I needed something that was like the sun / Now all my flowers grow, right now my life it blooms / Baby, you’re my favorite color.” (The FADER)

Based on one-day estimates, Tyler’s LP should easily land on the Top 10 albums chart next week.
Last week, Tyler claimed iTunes prematurely announced his album’s availability an hour before he unveiled it on Twitter.
“We were supposed to tell everybody to subscribe to the thing,” Tyler said referring to his new Gold Media application. “That technically still happened but I was still editing the video at nine. It was supposed to be up at nine and then f*cking iTunes put the pre-order of the album up at eight. So that’s an hour. Now me personally, I never put out music without the visual first. That’s how I always do my sh*t. Here’s your video, here’s your song, then I announce everything after that. Apple f*cked me in the a** so bad. F*ck Apple. They’re cool but you know we had this planned at nine. Suck a d*ck.” (“The Shane Show”)
Tyler broke the big album news to fans on Twitter days before the LP dropped.
