André 3000 is set to release more music in 2025, though he’s staying tight-lipped on the details. In a recent chat with Amazon Music, he said he’s exploring "new ways to distribute and express" his music, emphasizing, "I just want to express more."
Following the release of New Blue Sun, his flute-focused solo album, André made waves performing at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. His latest album, which diverged from his rap roots, runs 87 minutes of ambient flute sounds. It’s his first solo release since OutKast’s The Love Below in 2003.
The unconventional project earned André a Grammy nod for Album of the Year, along with nominations for Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Instrumental Composition for his intriguingly titled track, “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time.”
After launching New Blue Sun, André toured through cities like New Orleans, L.A., and Seattle. The Grammy nominations capped a big year, with Rolling Stone’s Christian Hoard calling his work “an odyssey that’s sunny, contemplative, and weirdly inspiring.”
Though he hasn’t confirmed if rap is on the horizon, André’s commitment to evolving creatively hints that fans can expect something unexpected in 2025.
