Andre 3000 to drop a new album “New Blue Sun” this week.
Andre 3000 is making his long-awaited return as the OutKast icon announces a new solo album titled “New Blue Sun”. However, the album will not feature any vocals, as it is an instrumental album,
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 3Stacks in interview with NPR Music.
“I’m a writer, and not necessarily a pen and pad writer, but I construct and architect verses in a way,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been doing all my life. So I look at it in that way, and if I’m not satisfied with what it is I just don’t put it out. Even during the earlier times, Big Boi, he just kind of got down, like, he’s so fast and efficient with what he does. And it’ll take me a minute to throw them down. So I’ve always kind of been analyzing it or figuring out how I wanted to approach it.”
“So, in these times, it just comes harder for me to do it and I don’t know why. I mean I try it all the time. It’s not like I don’t try or it’s not like I have a lot of these songs just sitting — I have songs but it’s not like rap things that I really feel happy about sharing. And really, that’s the most important part. I have to feel happy about sharing it.”
“That’s why New Blue Sun was something that I realized, whoa, I really want people to hear it. I really want to share it,” he added. “That’s my only gauge. I have to like it as a person, as an artist myself, because if I don’t like it I can’t expect nobody else to like it.”
“Once we started recording New Blue Sun, I think like three songs in I was like, Oh, we got something. I remember I had maybe four songs and I was just kind of testing it out ’cause I wanted to see how a younger audience would perceive it. I live in Cali now, so I reached out to Tyler for him to check it out and I went to his house.”
