Stream Andre 3000’s swiftly released album right here on Live4ever.
It took the best part of 20 years, but Andre 3000‘s New Blue Sun LP is out already after its surprise announcement earlier this week.
“I’m a writer, and not necessarily a pen and pad writer, but I construct and architect verses in a way,” the Outkast musician told NPR when introducing the record. “That’s what I’ve been doing all my life.”
“So I look at it in that way, and if I’m not satisfied with what it is I just don’t put it out. Even during the earlier times, Big Boi, he just kind of got down, like, he’s so fast and efficient with what he does. And it’ll take me a minute to throw them down. So I’ve always kind of been analyzing it or figuring out how I wanted to approach it.”
So, in these times, it just comes harder for me to do it and I don’t know why. I mean I try it all the time. It’s not like I don’t try or it’s not like I have a lot of these songs just sitting — I have songs but it’s not like rap things that I really feel happy about sharing. And really, that’s the most important part. I have to feel happy about sharing it.
