Background
Following Flower Boy (2017), the album was recorded mainly in California between 2017 and 2019, with sessions also held in Lake Como, Italy, and Atlanta. Critics and Tyler described it as a blend of hip-hop, neo soul, R&B, funk and pop, noting its synthesizers and lo-fi vocals.
The single "Earfquake" reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, his highest-charting single at the time. Igor debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 165,000 album-equivalent units, Tyler's first US number-one album, and was a widespread critical success.
