Cherry Bomb is the fourth studio album by Tyler, The Creator, marking a bold departure from his previous sound. Released in 2015, the album is a sonic explosion of punk, jazz, neo-soul, and distorted hip-hop, showcasing Tyler’s growing ambition as both a producer and artist. The Record Store Day (RSD) 2020 edition features the full album on vinyl, bringing new life to its raw, high-energy production. Unlike the introspective storytelling of Wolf, Cherry Bomb leans heavily into chaotic, distorted instrumentals, blending gritty synths, aggressive beats, and lush jazz arrangements. While some tracks are loud and abrasive ("Deathcamp," "Cherry Bomb"), others showcase softer, melodic moments ("Find Your Wings," "2Seater," "Okaga, CA"). The album includes standout collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Schoolboy Q, Kali Uchis, and Pharrell Williams, adding to its eclectic and experimental nature.
