Tyler, the Creator Celebrates 10 Years of 'Cherry Bomb' With New Golf Wang Collaboration
Releasing this weekend.
Summary
- Tyler, the Creator is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his album Cherry Bomb
- A new Golf Wang collection of hoodies, sweaters and more are releasing this weekend
- The album is now considered a pivotal, career-shaping moment
Tyler, the Creator‘s beloved album Cherry Bomb is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a new Golf Wang collaboration. The artist officially teased the new collection on Instagram, which features apparel with his typical bold colors and signature playful aesthetic.
The collection, which includes crewneck sweaters and hoodies, is centered on the album’s iconic masked, animated character aka Chur Bum, that originated as a mascot for the Golfilicious gum concept. The pieces come in vibrant hues of pink, green, and blue, a nod to the album’s colorful and at times, chaotic sound. The collection also includes a special vinyl reissue of the album.
When it was released in 2015, Cherry Bomb was a transitional album for Tyler, the Creator. It marked a sharp departure from his earlier sound, with its raw, distorted production and wild stylistic shifts. While it was initially met with a mixed and divisive reception, the album is now seen as the key link between his Odd Future era and the more introspective, genre-blending work that would earn him critical acclaim and Grammy Awards.
The album’s “organized chaos” became a key part of his artistic identity, laying the groundwork for the sounds and themes he would explore on Flower Boy and IGOR. The album also cemented his status as a creative polymath, as he not only produced the album but also created a documentary about its making, showcasing his vision beyond music.
The Cherry Bomb 10-year collection will be available for early access to fans on the GOLF WANG app on Friday, August 22, at 8 a.m. PT. It will also be available for early access at 11 a.m. local time at the flagship stores in LA, New York City. and London. The full collection will be released on Saturday, August 23, at 8 a.m. PT online.
