TYLER, THE CREATOR ANSWERS WHETHER HE'LL RELEASE NEW MUSIC IN 2024

Tyler, The Creator hasn’t released a full-length project since 2021, and fans of the former Odd Future MC might just have to wait a little longer for fresh material.

On Tuesday (March 26), a fan tweeted at 33-year-old: “drop that song that was playing at the beginning of the corso video pls thank you.”

The track in question, “Boyfriend, Girlfriend” featuring YG, was in fact released last year as part of Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, prompting social media users to troll him endlessly.

One user, however, took a different approach and responded: “you guys are laughing at him, but at least he gets new Tyler in 2024 [laughing face emoji].”

In a since-deleted quote tweet, Tyler shut down to possibilities of any new music this year and wrote: “exactly, unlike the rest of the world in 2024.”

 

Though fans are sure to be disappointed about Tyler, The Creator not releasing any new music this year, they can still check out other creative projects by him in the fashion world.

Last week, he released a two-minute video across social platforms to boost his inaugural Louis Vuitton collection just as it went live. In it, he playfully drags an oversized camera into a studio with the intention of taking photos of the new items.

“Where is everybody? Fuck!” he yells after realizing he has no help.

The “Craggy Monogram” collection includes an array of items such as a knitted vest, collectible cereal bowl, leather golf bag, chess set and shoes, among other things.

The Los Angeles rapper also took a moment to reflect on the collaboration, writing on Twitter: “i started with stencils on proclubs in 04. then iron ons for bloxhead in 06. few fuck lame prints in 08.

“jasper would ask me to draw on his hoodies and shoes i never declined. then odd future items got cracking in 2011, then vans trusted me. i started and dialed in on golf wang in 2013, which led to an ill converse relationship; still going.”

He continued: “started working on le FLEUR* in 2019 after lacoste gave me a shot. le FLEUR* finally released 2021 and im still perfecting it. all that preparation went to work when i got the opportunity at louis vuitton to do this collection. i was not nervous. i did not feel pressure. i was beyond ready.

“i am very proud of how it came out. on top of everything i got to use my friends in it and the same production crew ive used on everything since the yonkers video. ive been making clothing along side music since i was 13. nice to add this to the list.”

Watch Fontaines D.C. sing Antonio Vega’s ‘Tesoros’ in Spanish in Madrid

Fontaines D.C. covered Antonio Vega’s ‘Tesoros’ in Madrid on Saturday (November 2), with guitarist Carlos O’Connell singing the song in Spanish.

The Irish band have just started the European leg of their ‘Romance’ tour, in support of their fourth album of the same name, and arrived in the Spanish capital’s WiZink Center armed with something special for the local crowd.

As the below fan-captured clip demonstrates, the band played a version of ‘Tesoros’, a track from Spanish singer-songwriter Antonio Vega’s first album ‘No Me Iré Mañana’ in 1991, with O’Connell, who is half Spanish, taking on two of the song’s verses in its original language while strumming an acoustic guitar.

 

Fontaines D.C. played in Madrid:

‘Romance’
‘Jackie Down The Line’
‘Televised Mind’
‘A Lucid Dream’
‘Roman Holiday’
‘Big Shot’
‘Death Kink’
‘Sundowner’
‘Big’
‘A Hero’s Death’
‘Here’s The Thing’
‘Tesoros’
‘Bug’
‘Horseness Is The Whatness’
‘Nabokov’|
‘Boys In The Better Land’
‘Favourite’
‘In The Modern World’
‘I Love You’
‘Starburster’

This week, the band announced a new slate of headline US dates for 2025, consisting of 18 dates in April and May. Tickets are on sale for the shows now – see the full list of dates here and find your tickets here.

Before that, Grian Chatten and co. will embark on their 2024 UK and Ireland headline tour, which is set to take place in November and December. That stint includes two nights at Alexandra Palace in the capital.

In addition, the band have announced a massive headlining show at Cardiff Castle for late July 2025. It joins two other already announced huge shows for next year, the first at London’s Finsbury Park, which is due to take place on Saturday July 5. It will mark their biggest headline performance to date, with support coming from Amyl And The Sniffers and Kneecap.

Shortly after that, they’ll head to Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15, where they will be joined by English Teacher and Kneecap once again. The outdoor venue has a total capacity of 26,000 fans, and tickets went on sale earlier this month.

This summer, ‘Romance’ arrived and marked their fourth album and first with new label XL Recordings. In a glowing five-star review of the James Ford-produced record, NME shared: “‘Romance’ offers moments of wonder and gravity while also feeling occasionally foreboding.”

For the direction of the album, the band told NME they wanted to implement a distinct move away from the rockier sound of their debut album, ‘Dogrel’.

“To be creatively understood by too many people feels like flies settling all over your clothes and all over your face. Every now and again you have to fucking shake them off, just to see who you are again. That’s what we wanted to do,” he said.

The band have recently been hailed by Elton John as “the best band out there at the moment”, and last month announced new tour dates for Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
