Alter Ego

Tyrese

A sprawling double-disc experiment splitting the difference between velvet-smooth R&B crooning and aggressive, West Coast-influenced hip-hop bravado.

December 11, 2006 · J Records

Find on Amazon

A high-stakes tug-of-war between smooth, romantic vulnerability and aggressive, street-oriented confidence.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition halfway through the record where the smooth R&B crooner disappears and the aggressive rap persona Black-Ty takes over.
The way the lush vocal harmonies on 'One' create a classic R&B atmosphere before the album descends into darker, more synthetic club production.
The heavy, distorted bassline of 'Get Low' marking a complete departure from the artist's traditional romantic balladry.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Alter Ego sound next to the rest of Tyrese's catalogue?

Identity+4.0σ

The writing leans far further into identity than the rest of the catalogue.
