André 3000 , to Release First Album in 17 Years.

André 3000, one half of the group Outkast that broke up nearly two decades ago, is back with new music, Deadline reports.

.

His album, 'New Blue Sun,' will drop on Nov.

17.

However, the new music might not be what Outkast fans expect from the musician.

In an interview with NPR, André 3000 said it will be “an entirely instrumental album centered around woodwinds; a celebratory piece of work in the form of a living, breathing, aural organism.”.

The album's packaging will also include the label, "Warning: No Bars," indicating an absence of rapped lyrics.

I don’t want to troll people.

I don’t want people to think, Oh, this André 3000 album is coming!

And you play it and like, ‘Oh man, no verses.’ , André 3000, to NPR.

So even actually on the packaging, you’ll see it says, ‘Warning: No Bars.’ It’s letting you know what it is off the top, André 3000, to NPR.

André co-produced the album with Carlos Niño.

Featured musicians include "Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, Deantoni Parks, Diego Gaeta, Matthewdavid, V.C.R, Diego Gaeta, Jesse Peterson and Mia Doi Todd," Deadline reports.

Meanwhile, André said he may make another rap album in the future.

In my mind, I really would like to make a rap album.

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, André 3000, to NPR
