André 3000 has unveiled his latest project, "New Blue Sun," marking his return to music after 17 years. However, fans hoping for a rap album might be disappointed, as the elusive artist explained in an NPR interview that he's currently exploring a different artistic direction. The album, devoid of traditional lyrics, emphasizes wind and breathing, featuring André's talents on flutes and digital instruments. Despite the absence of rap, he expressed love for the genre and hinted at a potential return in the future. "New Blue Sun" stands as André 3000's first solo endeavor since 2006, offering a unique 87-minute experience with contributions from jazz musicians but no guest appearances from fellow hip-hop heavyweights.
