On the ninth episode of Analysis Paralysis Tanya Bunter, Sam Cummins and Adam Christou do a deeeep dive on "IGOR" the fifth record from American artist Tyler, The Creator. 

IGOR is the follow up to his Grammy nominated record Flower Boy, a record that saw Tyler mature both his sound and lyrical content and offered a level of introspection not found on his previous records.

It’s a record that explores the ethics of artificial intelligence and the increasing use of it as a tool in music production and marketing with Herndon herself choosing to use AI in a collaborative sense rather than handing over full creative control.
