Andre 3000 unleashes his new instrumental album “New Blue Sun”.
After a surprise announcement earlier this week, the legendary Andre 3000 has released his brand new album “New Blue Sun”. The project doesn’t feature any vocals, and it is only an instrumental album. This is the first piece of new music from 3Stacks in over 17 years.
It “is a stunning 87-minute mind-bender, minimalist and experimental, tribal and transcendent,” wrote NPR. “I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time,” said Andre in an interview with NPR Music.
The project comes with a pack of 8 tracks, includes titles like “I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A “Rap” Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time”, “Ninety Three ‘Til Infinity And Beyoncé”, “Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Your Lord & Savior J.C. / Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, And John Wayne Gacy”, “Ants To You, Gods To Who ?” and more.
“I’m happy when I’m playing. I’m exploring when I’m playing. I’m thinking when I’m playing,” he said in a new interview. “I wouldn’t say that it’s a set-out meditation, but I do think you get into a meditative practice for, you know, staying in the moment. So yeah, I’m very happy when I’m playing. I’m very in the moment when I’m playing. Like, if I was on the corner, and somebody said, oh, man, that’s Andre 3000. Man, rap – it would feel so weird for me to just start rapping.”
“And you’re like, oh, man, ain’t no verses. So even actually on the packaging, you know, you’ll see it. It says, warning – no bars. But also, like, this is true, man. Like, I love rap music because it was a part of my youth. So I would love to be out here rapping with everybody rapping because it’s almost like fun and being on the playground. But it’s like, it’s just not happening for me. So this is the realest thing that’s coming right now. Not to say that I would never do it again, but the title, you know, “I Really Wanted To Make A Rap Album, But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time” because this album is about wind and breathing.”
