Did Someone Order an Andre 3000 Flute Album?

André 3000 is dropping his first-ever solo album this Friday, and it comes with a little precaution on the packaging: “Warning: No bars.” There aren’t even words on the record, New Blue Sun — but there are a lot of flutes. The former Outkast rapper played a custom-made wooden flute, among other wind instruments, on the album, which a press release describes as “a living, breathing, aural organism.” In 3000’s words, “I’ve been interested in winds for a long time, so it was just a natural progression for me to go into flutes.” (And right when the culture needed a new flute player.) The album has eight songs with, er, winding titles, like opener “I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time.” He also collaborated across the jazz and instrumental world, co-producing the album with percussionist Carlos Niño and performing with guitarist Nate Mercereau and keyboardist Surya Botofasina, among other musicians.

But don’t mourn 3 Stacks’s rap career just yet. “In my mind, I really would like to make a rap album,” André added in the press release (while clarifying that he’s not “sitting around on rap albums”). “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’s appealing to me at this age.” Find the full tracklist below.
