Wolf is the third studio album by Tyler, The Creator, marking a shift towards more polished production and introspective storytelling while still retaining the dark, rebellious energy of his earlier work. Unlike his previous albums Bastard and Goblin, which followed a therapy session concept, Wolf focuses on a more cinematic narrative, revolving around a love triangle and the character of "Wolf," a new persona in Tyler’s universe. The album balances aggressive tracks like Domo23 and Trashwang with softer, jazz-influenced cuts such as Treehome95 and Awkward. Lyrically, Tyler dives deeper into themes of heartbreak, loneliness, nostalgia, and fame, with standout moments like Answer, where he reflects on his absent father, and IFHY, a volatile love song featuring Pharrell Williams.
