If you enjoy psychedelic rock, indie-pop, and alternative music and are looking for something relatable to add to your playlist, Currents by Tame Impala is an album you may want to pick songs from. With the variety of moods incorporated into Currents, Kevin Parker did not fail to deliver the message of self-love and change to over a million people.

A story told from the perspective of someone who wants out of a relationship and is seeking to acquire self-change, Currents is a story within itself. The best way to listen to the album for the full experience is to listen in order, from “Let It Happen”, to “New Person Same Old Mistakes”. The first and last songs in the album perfectly tie in with each other. “Let It Happen” describes wanting to let go and finally grow while “New Person, Same Old Mistakes” describes going back to the past and being unable to change. This album is like an essay, it starts with an introduction and ends with a conclusion. And that conclusion is that the main subject failed to undergo the desired change. With an essay, also comes words. The lyrics in these songs connect, painting the picture of self-change as Currents is trying to convey.

Relatable lyrics are among the many things people look for while listening to music. Some of Tame Impala's fan’s notable lyrics come from the songs “Cause I’m a Man” and “Yes I’m Changing”.  “Like the brutal morning sun It dawns on me, what have I done? Saying sorry ain’t as good as saying why.” and, “I can’t always hide away Curse indulgence and despise the fame…Arise and walk on through, the world beyond that door is calling out for you.” Like many other artists, Kevin Parker based this album on his heartbreak. With words coming from the heart, much of the lyrics reflect his life and paint a picture of his own experience.

Overall, Currents is by far a fan favorite and a personal favorite. With its diverse ranges, use of repetition, and overall lyrics, this album is one that many people could relate to. Its poppy and psyche beats bring together a diverse group of listeners from heavy metal lovers to R&B. And even has the popular singer Rihanna do a cover of “New Person, Same Old Mistakes.” In the end, it's the shredding vortex that tells the story.
