He also has a clothing line, GOLFWANG, that is filled with expressive clothing and bright light colors that Tyler has been known to wear. His songs are light and bouncy and are completely different from the other music he has produced. With his latest album Igor, Tyler is showcased on the album cover with a pink background behind him, an abnormal look for his genre. The first of the two, titled Flower Boy, was filled with songs that talked about topics such as depression while still having an airy sound, which was unheard of at the time.


Tyler has five studio albums, but his last two were the most impactful on showing his creativity. He was in the rap group Odd Future, a group that made typical hip hop songs with typical beats, but as time went on he grew into a completely different personality in his music. Starting off in the early 2010s, Tyler’s music seemed to be pretty normal from hip hop standards. Tyler, the Creator has a big role to do with this growing trend in hip hop. In the last decade, though, hip hop has grown to be a diverse and revealing genre of music.

Whatever's causing you strife, we hope you'll find catharsis in one of these sad love songs.Although hip hop started in the 70s with disco-funk and crazy stories, hip hop got really big in the 90s, with rappers bringing the hardcore, controversial, and raw rap lyrics and beats that are classic today. You may be trying to rekindle a smothered spark, dealing with quarantine-related long distance drama, or struggling with keeping your dating life going this winter. And emotional classics by Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Fleetwood Mac prove that while sonic style and songwriting changes over the decades, the raw feeling of heartbreak will always be relatable. Many sift through the rubble of past relationships (Drake's "Marvin's Room," Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor"), while others are about the momentary relief of connection, even if you know it's not with the right person (Sam Smith's "Stay With Me," Bonnie Raitt's, "I Can't Make You Love Me"). A handful of '90s classics (Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart") and R&B hits are on the list, as are sweeter numbers that would be at home on a Valentine's Day playlist if you're spending the holiday solo. Some of the sad love songs in this collection have the capacity to make you cry, and may even help you mend a broken heart after a breakup. But sometimes the track that really hits home is more somber. We all enjoy a celebratory and, dare we say it, slightly sappy love song that revels in the beauty of human connection.
