Listen to the Andr\u00e9 3000 New Blue Sun<\/i> album below<\/h3>\n

Can you believe the Andr\u00e9 3000 New Blue Sun<\/i> album is the artist\u2019s first solo LP and the first album he’s worked on since 2006\u2019s Idlewild<\/i> with the multi Grammy award winning Outkast? In a surprise return on wax, Andr\u00e9 3000 created an experience sans lyrics and full of wood wind instrument work. As described by Andr\u00e9 himself , it\u2019s \u201ca celebratory piece of work in the form of a living, breathing, aural organism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been interested in winds for a long time, so it was just a natural progression for me to go into flutes,\u201d stated Andr\u00e9. \u201cI just like messing with instruments and I gravitated mostly toward wind.\u201d In New Blue Sun<\/i>, Andr\u00e9 plays various instruments including a digital wind instrument, a Maya flute, and other bamboo and wood.<\/p>\n

The Andr\u00e9 3000 New Blue Sun<\/i> album also features bells, chimes, cymbals, drums, gongs, plants and percussion by Carlos Ni\u00f1o, while guitar, guitar synth, and live sampling is done by Nate Mercereau. Surya Botofasina worked on keyboards and synthesizers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people feel like I\u2019m sitting around on rap albums, or sitting around and I\u2019m just not putting them out in that way. And no it\u2019s not like that,\u201d Andr\u00e9 continued. \u201cIn my mind, I really would like to make a rap album<\/a>. So maybe that happens one day, but I got to find a way to say what I want to say in an interesting way that\u2019s appealing to me at this age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take a listen to the full album below, which features eight tracks spanning across 88 minutes.<\/p>\n
