Boo Boo is the fifth studio album by Toro y Moi, released on July 7, 2017 via Carpark. "Girl Like You" was the first single from the album and was released on June 9, 2017. Toro Y Moi cites Travis Scott, Daft Punk, Kashif, Gigi Masin, Frank Ocean, and Oneohtrix Point Never as inspiration for the album. Toro y Moi said the album was written to help "cope with an identity crisis caused by his growing popularity".
Toro y Moi released the album on July 7, 2017. One day before the release, Toro y Moi uploaded an album stream and short film to YouTube, which was directed and produced by Company Studio. The short film features Toro y Moi being driven around the Bay Area.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 72, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".Stereogum writer Tom Breihan named it "Album of the Week" and states Boo Boo "might just be the best Toro Y Moi album yet, partly because it sounds like all these past strains of his music whirled together and partly because it’s just a great album." Ian Cohen of Pitchfork writes, "Toro Y Moi's Chaz Bear sounds increasingly comfortable as a lead vocalist and personality on his most personal album to date, as a still-funky but more ambient side of his writing emerges."
All tracks written by Chaz Bear.
