Originally Published 2 years ago — by NPR
André 3000, half of the hip-hop duo OutKast, is releasing his first solo album in over 17 years titled "New Blue Sun." The album is a departure from his previous work, as it is purely instrumental and features André playing various flutes and digital wind instruments. The album was created through improvisation and collaboration with a community of musicians in Los Angeles. André discusses his creative process, the pressure he puts on himself, and the importance of finding freedom and support in a collaborative environment. He also opens up about his experiences with social anxiety disorder and the role it plays in his life and music.
