"For the first time in nearly two decades years, André 3000 is releasing an album of new music. New Blue Sun, set to be released this Friday, Nov. 17, is a stunning 87-minute mind-bender, minimalist and experimental, tribal and transcendent.
One thing it is not, however, is a rap record: No bars, no beats, no sub-bass. André doesn't sing on this joint, either. What he does do is play flute, and plenty of it — contrabass flute, maya flutes, bamboo flutes — along with other digital wind instruments. In place of lyrics, he offers eight provocative song titles, the first of which almost reads like a lowkey apology, with a wink of irony: "I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time."
In this sweeping, hour-long interview, the former member of OutKast speaks with NPR Music's Rodney Carmichael about the long road to making New Blue Sun, which traveled through phases of grief and inspiration. A departure album in the classic sense, New Blue Sun also feels like André has arrived."
Nah I’m incredibly in this sounds amazing
Nov 14, 2023WRUwonder if @drawsdem did the cover
so this guy didnt do the cover, although this is clearly his style down to the colors and everything (except gray background but even then this guy would do one with white and one with gray from time to time)
I want you to see and maybe spread the word bc this is kinda crazy since bro has like 600 followers
Nov 14, 2023At least we got Big Boi

Not all albums gotta be rap or even have lyrics, could be fire.

Very dope that Andre reached out to Tyler and Frank first to get their opinions
But it’s unfortunate that absolutely no music will come from their meetup though, highly doubt they worked on anything together
