André 3000 Reveals He Doesn’t Know What He’s Doing After Flute Pivot

André 3000 recently opened up about his unexpected career shift to playing the flute. In an appearance on LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s show “The Shop,” the OutKast legend discussed his pivot: “I don’t want people to think that I’m trying to be a jazz musician,” but a “sonic displayist.” He admitted, “I don’t know what notes I’m playing, to be completely honest.” This artistic exploration is evident in his November 2023 solo album, New Blue Sun, which features eight tracks of flute music with no rapping or singing. Reflecting on his departure from OutKast after their 2006 album Idlewild, André 3000 noted the changing chemistry between him and over time. His new direction showcases his unique approach to music and his willingness to embrace the unknown.
