With a song or two like the king me, bitch lead single “Who Dat Boy” exempted, Flower Boy is a collection of some of the gentlest, prettiest, most complete music he’s made to date. On some level, it’s the opus he’s been chasing since he was eating cockroaches and hanging himself in music videos. He matches his wide-eyed enthusiasm for confusing sounds with better discernment about where those sounds should go. He talks cash with an emotional openness that suggests the McClarens and Teslas and other luxuries he can finally afford cost more than just the money he paid for them. There are better, more interesting questions asked and answered than “is Tyler, the Creator gay or what?”
