Surprise releases don't come much more suprising than this! The Outkast man unexpectedly fired out this epic flute oddyssey - which has more in common with the rapturous and enchanting world of Alice Coltrane than his previous brash ATL shenanigans - at the tail end of last year, catching us off guard and causing us to rethink everything we thought we knew about him.

It's a gorgeous swell of sound. An instrumental opus. In short, it's staggering. A triple album of flute music from the lips of a true innovator. “New Blue Sun represents a continuation of adventure and discovery for me. Even inherent in the meaning of my name Andre 3000, there is a wonder or looking forward to the new or what is next. This discovery has happened many times in my life and career and it’s very exciting to witness. I say ‘witness’ because I am also watching it happen along with you all and I never really know what will come or how I will respond or interpret the inspiration. We all have aspirations, ideas or plans but isn’t it the most.

André Benjamin - best known as André 3000 - is one of the most celebrated artists of the last three decades, an auteur whose work in music, film, fine arts, and fashion, continues to influence the cultural landscape on a global scale. As one half of Outkast, André established a brand new voice within rap that had never been experienced before when the pair emerged in the early ’90s.

New Blue Sun is the continuation of discovery for me. My entire career has been fueled by this and it is the only thing that keeps me honest. This album is the most honest and interesting offering I can give today. I never could have imagined in high school, when I started rapping and doing music that I would be here right now playing wind instruments. Ha. This life ride always surprises me. I’m here for it.” — Andre 3000
