On Mar. 31, American rapper and producer Tyler, The Creator released a deluxe version of his seventh studio album, titled CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale. This version features eight songs that previously didn’t make the final cut, and the additional songs add more than 20 minutes of listening time to the already sizable CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, which was released back in June of 2021. 

The album begins with the entirety of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, and from the end of that, continues into the first track of the deluxe, EVERYTHING MUST GO, an interlude that shifts from the old songs into the new songs, mentioning a few of Tyler’s accomplishments, including his CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST Tour. 

Following this interlude is STUNTMAN, where Tyler and Vince Staples are constantly bragging about things such as cars, jewelry, and property, correlating this lavish lifestyle to doing stunts, all of which fit the overall style of the entire album. The next track, WHAT A DAY features an unreleased Madlib sample, causing this track to sound a bit more calm and collected than the earlier, but still allows a clean transition into the following song, WHARF TALK.

The next few are my favorite from this deluxe, beginning with WHARF TALK, which features Tyler’s long time friend and fellow rapper, A$AP Rocky, who’s talent compliments this piece well, even in the few verses he has. In this song we find Tyler to be in love with a woman who he’ll do anything for, but she doesn’t want to devote herself to a relationship for the rest of her life with him, so Tyler begins to beg for her to decide, hence the lyrics: “I want you (I want you)/To come get lost with me (Make up your mind)/Ask you one more time (Ask you one more time)”.

WHARF TALK goes hand in hand with the next, DOGTOOTH, which talks about the feeling of desire that Tyler has for another woman, claiming that he doesn’t need anything in return for pleasuring her, with the exception of her time and love. HEAVEN TO ME uses a bit from John Legend’s Heaven, making a clean and easy switch from women and romance to a more reminiscent and thoughtful song about one of Tyler’s most cherished times, coming from when he was only seventeen.

Going back to the romance type of melody is BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND, which is a demo featuring California native, YG. This song is pretty self explanatory, repeating the lines “You can be my boyfriend, girlfriend/You should be my boyfriend, girlfriend (Yeah)”.

The final track, SORRY NOT SORRY has to have one of the deepest meanings out of the eight added songs, where Tyler is genuinely apologizing to the people that he feels deserve them and delivering more sarcastic apologies to the ones that have wronged him, he also delves into the history of his sexuality with the lyrics “Sorry to the guys I had to hide (Ooh)/Sorry to the girls I had to lie to.” 

The SORRY NOT SORRY music video highlights many of Tyler’s “eras,” which he uses to express different parts of himself, from Wolf Haley to his latest identity, Tyler Baudelaire. The closing lines of the song, “I guarantee another era is upon us/So once again, we gone,” confirms the continuation of Tyler switching his personas once another album is released.

Overall, these tracks are a great addition to the original, CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, allowing listeners to get just a bit more of Tyler’s wandering and sophisticated character of this era.
