Doris is the debut studio album by Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt. The album was released on August 20, 2013 by Tan Cressida and Columbia Records. Doris follows his free-album Earl, which was released in 2010 when he was sixteen. After returning from a forced stay in a Samoan boarding school, he began working on his debut album and signed a deal with Columbia, rather than Odd Future's Odd Future Records.

Doris features guest appearances from Odd Future members Domo Genesis, Frank Ocean, Casey Veggies, Tyler, the Creator, along with Vince Staples, RZA and Mac Miller. Production was primarily handled by Sweatshirt under the pseudonym randomblackdude and production duo Christian Rich. Additional production was provided by Matt Martians, The Neptunes, RZA, Samiyam, BadBadNotGood, Frank Ocean, and Tyler, The Creator. The album was supported by three singles; "Chum", "Whoa" featuring Tyler, The Creator, and "Hive" featuring Vince Staples and Casey Veggies.

Upon its release, Doris was met with universal critical acclaim from music critics, including perfect scores by The Guardian and Los Angeles Times, which praised Sweatshirt's rhyme schemes and lyrics along with the gritty underground production. The album also fared well commercially debuting at number five on the US Billboard 200 and number one on US Top Rap Albums chart.

Background

Doris serves as Earl Sweatshirt's debut studio album.

On February 8, 2012, rumors spread around the internet that Earl Sweatshirt had returned to the U.S. when a video of him surfaced on YouTube with a preview of a new song saying if viewers wanted "the full thing" they would have to give him 50,000 followers on Twitter.[2] He also later confirmed on his new Twitter account[3] that he had returned to his home in Los Angeles.[4] Three hours passed and Sweatshirt reached 50,000 followers and did release a new song on his website, entitled "Home", in which he ends the song with "...and I'm back. Bye."[5] Sweatshirt later confirmed via Twitter that all the songs released prior to Oldie were old songs that he recorded before going abroad.[5] On the same day Earl launched his website Terttlefer.com, which was later changed to Earlxsweat.com (after his Twitter username), and finally Earlsweatshirt.com.[5] In April 2012 Earl Sweatshirt created his own record label imprint called Tan Cressida which will be distributed through Columbia Records. He turned down several other larger offers due to his priority of remaining close to Odd Future.[6]

Wu-Tang Clan's RZA produced and appeared on "Molasses".

On November 12, 2012, Earl announced on his Twitter account that his first and second studio albums would be titled Doris and Gnossos.[7][8] Early on Doris was reported to feature vocals or production from Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Ommas Keith, Thundercat, Domo Genesis, The Neptunes, Christian Rich, Vince Staples, BadBadNotGood, Pharrell Williams, Samiyam, The Alchemist, Casey Veggies and The Internet.[9][10][11]

On March 6, 2013 while performing with Flying Lotus and Mac Miller, Earl premiered three new songs off Doris, "Burgundy" produced by The Neptunes, "Hive" featuring Casey Veggies & Vince Staples and "Guild" featuring Mac Miller.[12][13] At Coachella 2013 Earl previewed "Hive", "Burgundy" and "Guild" once again, as well as "20 Wave Caps".[14] At Syracuse, he previewed "Molasses" featuring RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan.[15] On July 12, 2013 Earl announced a release date of August 20, 2013 for the album and released the album cover and track listing.[16]

Earl Sweatshirt described the album saying:
"Im just trying to make pretty music. Everyone whose favorite song off Earl was “Epar” or whatever might be pretty bummed. Everyone with 666 or KTA or some sort of stupid hashtag like ‘hey look im crazy’ in their bio might be pretty bummed too. I anticipate a loss of fans. I also anticipate gaining some… I fucking love how it sounds. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you can hear the progression. I hope I lose you as a fan if you only fuck with me because I rapped about raping girls when I was 15."[17]

Release and promotion

Earl Sweatshirt toured in promotion of Doris with fellow Odd Future member Tyler, The Creator.

On November 2, 2012, Earl released his first solo single since his return from Samoa, titled "Chum".[18] The music video for "Chum" was released on December 4, 2012.[19] Earl would confirm the next single to be titled "Whoa", featuring Tyler, The Creator. The song was released to iTunes on March 12, 2013, along with the music video being released, which was directed by Tyler, The Creator.[20] On July 16, 2013, the third single "Hive", featuring Vince Staples and Casey Veggies, was released to iTunes along with the pre-order for the album.[21] An accompanying music video was then released later that day.[22]

From April 30, through May 18, 2013 Earl Sweatshirt toured the West Coast of the United States with Tyler, The Creator on his Wolf tour.[23] On August 9, 2013, Sweatshirt made his national television debut, performing The Neptunes-produced "Burgundy" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.[24] On September 10, 2013, Earl Sweatshirt announced his first solo-headlining concert tour titled Doris. The tour will run from October 6, through November 9, 2013 and will feature supporting acts by Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis and Vince Staples.[25]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 49,000 copies in the United States. It also debuted at number three and number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts respectively.[26] In its second week the album sold 8,000 more copies.[27] In its third week the album sold 4,000 more copies bringing its total album sales to 62,000.[28]

Upon its release, Doris was met with critical acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 82, which indicates "universal acclaim", based on 32 reviews.[29] Simon Vozick-Levinson of Rolling Stone gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying "His rhyme schemes are as complex as ever, and these resolutely unpop beats – sticky-icky sample collages from producers including Pharrell, RZA and himself – are an ideal canvas. But his subject matter has undergone a drastic overhaul. Unlike some peers, Earl has figured out that shock value only goes so far. Doris' themes are way less cartoonish – getting stoned, shrugging off career pressures, staring down his least-favorite feelings."[37] David Jeffries of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Doris is unsettled, messy, and takes a bit to sort, but there are codes to crack and rich rewards to reap, so enter with an open mind and prepare to leave exhausted."[30] Aaron Matthews of Exclaim! gave the album a six out of ten, saying "Doris isn't the classic many anticipated, but it is a strong, uncompromised debut from a very talented young rapper. For now, that's enough."[32] Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times gave the album four out of four stars, saying "Earl, born Thebe Kgositsile, might be best known for his precocious way around a rhyme, but "Doris" features instrumental interludes, expanded mid-song diversions and enough surprise to warrant repeated — obsessive — evaluation."[34] Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork Media gave the album an 8.3 out of 10, saying "As comebacks go, it’s shockingly insular and unassuming. Even when he skirts the mainstream, he does so with cautious optimism. Earl made a television appearance with the Roots on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" this month, running through the boisterous “Burgundy” with eyes closed after a tense walk from the blue room to the stage. It was a peculiar event, the anticlimactic unveiling of a star who’d been the talk of rap circles for three years but scarcely able to relish the attention."[36]

Jesse Cataldo of Slant Magazine gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Earl may be one of the quieter voices on Doris, but his dense, evocative sensibility dominates the album both lyrically and musically."[40] Dan Jackson of XXL gave the album an XL rating saying, "As one might expect from a 19-year-old, this is an album of extremes. It can be poignant and honest in one moment, then cagey and distant in the next."[39] Darryl G. Wright of PopMatters gave the album an eight out of ten, saying "Doris represents one of the most innovative and important hip-hop releases of the year. Not just because of the charm and intrigue of Earl’s story but because of the immense and understated level of his talent for writing rhymes."[41] Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Earl paints pictures in a manner more poetic than just about all within his peer group. The hectic journey towards this moment has played the biggest role in both his ingenuity and uncertainty, producing the carefree attitude sure to alienate inconsiderate onlookers, while others cheer him on."[42] Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Spin gave the album an eight out of ten, saying "The record is at its best when he simply shifts into verbal overdrive, spitting gnarled bullets on the phenomenal robber's fable "Centurion" or the weedy hallucinogen "Guild."[38] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian gave the album five out of five stars, saying "This is knockabout punchline rap made into high art, a psychedelic visionquest to the taqueria on a skateboard."[33] Hermione Hoby of The Observer gave the album four out of five stars, saying "The beats remain dank and murky but the subject matter has thankfully left behind rape and murder narratives for the introspective and confessional."[43]

Accolades

Closing out the year, Doris was named to multiple "Album of the Year" lists for 2013. Nick Catucci of Entertainment Weekly named it the tenth best album of 2013 saying, "On Doris, his official debut, the prodigal phenom reclaims his own tale over shadowy, off-center beats. But unlike most brainy, restless 19-year-olds, he's generous with his epiphanies, rapping about his absent father, his intense partying — and how not to carry a skateboard."[44] NME ranked it number 27 on their list of the 50 best albums of 2013.[45] Complex ranked it number 27 on their list of the 50 best albums of 2013. They elaborated saying, "This album sounds like it was made as much for Earl as it was for the his fans—maybe more. But as a result, we get the unfiltered artist, clear of any impurities that might water down his product. These bars aren't stepped on, as he describes his adjustment (and resistance) to fame, personal relationships, and dedication to his craft—all while flexing his evolved technical ability. Doris gave us a second impression that felt like a first meeting, familiarizing us with one of today's most enigmatic rappers."[46] PopMatters named it the sixth best hip hop album of the year. They commented saying, "Doris is made of fantastic self-revealing moments, jaw dropping lines, and some of the year’s best bars. When you end an album with the line “Young, black, and jaded, vision hazy strolling through the night,” you have to have something backing it up. Make no mistake, Earl isn’t good for his age; he’s great, period."[47]

The album was named the eighth best hip hop album of 2013 by Exclaim!.[48] The album was positioned at number 42 on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 best albums of 2013.[49] Spin ranked it at number 31 on their list of the 50 best albums of 2013.[50] Consequence of Sound ranked it at number 39 on their list of the 50 best albums of 2013.[51] It was positioned at number 22 on Pigeons and Planes' list of the best albums of 2013.[52] Mojo ranked it at number 23 on their list of the top 50 albums of the year.[53] Paste positioned it at number 43 on their list of the 50 best albums of 2013.[54]
