On June 25, 2021, Tyler, The Creator released his second Grammy-award-winning album, “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” (CMIYGL). After receiving critical acclaim, headlining Austin City Limits and touring across North America and Europe, fans were left entranced by the aesthetic Tyler brought. Nearly two years after the initial release of CMIYGL, Tyler released a deluxe edition named “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale” on March 31, 2023.

The original version of CMIYGL has a runtime of 52 minutes and 50 seconds with 16 tracks in total, while “CALL ME IF YOU

GET LOST: The Estate Sale” boosts the runtime to one hour and 17 minutes with 24 tracks in total. The new tracks included on the album are as follows:

“EVERYTHING MUST GO,”

“STUNTMAN (feat. Vince Staples),” “WHAT A DAY,”

“WHARF TALK (feat. A$AP Rocky),” “DOGTOOTH,”

“BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND

(2020 demo) (feat. YG)” and “SORRY NOT SORRY.”

“EVERYTHING MUST GO” serves as an interlude to “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale.” The track focuses on Tyler and DJ Drama — the introductory narrator across most tracks on CMIYGL — as they reminisce about their success on the “CMIYGL” tour.

“WHAT A DAY,” “WHARF TALK (feat. A$AP Rocky),”

“DOGTOOTH” and “BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND (2020 demo) (feat. YG)” perfectly represent the mellow side of the

CMIYGL era as a whole. The tracks feel very similar and cohesive to those from the original release; this includes songs such as “MASSA” and “SWEET/I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE (feat. Brent Faiyaz & Fana Hues).”
