New Blue Sun - André 3000
For the first time in over 17 years, André 3000 (of Outkast) is releasing an album of new music. New Blue Sun is a stunning, big 3LP set with 87-minutes of minimalist, experimental and transcendent music.
One thing it is not, however, is a rap record: No bars, no beats, no sub-bass. André doesn’t sing on this joint, either. What he does do is play flute, and plenty of it - contrabass flute, Mayan flutes, bamboo flutes - along with other digital wind instruments.
The album features Carlos Niño on percussion; Nate Mercereau on guitar, and Surya Botofasina on keyboards.

Reviews
“As I sit and listen to New Blue Sun, I feel this sense of ease and peace within. It feels very comfortable to just have the majestic sound of the music slowly and smoothly flowing through the ear. It seems to clear the mind of any negativity and slows the mind down to take in the melodic energy. The album creates a serene atmosphere that allows one to escape from the chaos of everyday life”
