Andre 3000, one half of the rap duo Outkast, is set to release a very non-conventional album this Friday after nearly two decades after his first solo album. The new album, called New Blue Sun, will be all flute. Yes, flute. The first track states it all: “I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time”. He had encouragement from Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator on this project.

Frank Ocean knows how to tease his loyal fans as he dropped a snippet of a possible new tune on Instagram stories. This is the first of new music from Ocean in over three years. Then there was Coachella this year, where his set was cut short and his sub sequential performances at the festival cancelled due to an ankle injury the R&B star had. Check out the teaser of Ocean’s new music here.
