Music| After 17 Years, Andre 3000 Announces New Album "New Blue Sun"

Andre 3000, a notable partner of the iconic duo Outkast, has just announced that after 17 years, he has decided to release an album dubbed “New Blue Sun“. What is labeled as a fully instrumental album, which secures this promise with a “no bars” plastered on the packaging. The Atlanta native is renowned for his amazing lyrics and uniquely grasping vocals but what many have yet to enjoy is…

Surya Botofasina - Ashram Sun - jazz-adjacent meditative music from a student of Alice Coltrane, produced by Carlos Niño

Ashram Sun is a transcendent journey toward the inner source of Surya Botofasina’s musical being. Returning to the places and spaces of his spiritual and musical upbringing, the keyboardist and vocalist’s second LP for Spiritmuse after 2022’s acclaimed Everyone’s Children delivers an inspiring meditation on the works and message of his mentor, Swamini Turiyasangitananda, better known as Alice Coltrane, and takes us back to his grounding in the Sai Anantam Ashram – a Vedic ashram built and founded by Coltrane in Santa Monica, California, in 1983. By this time, the spiritual jazz colossus had already taken the name Turiyasangitananda, dedicating Her remaining decades living, teaching, and seeking spiritual enlightenment through prayer, meditation and music. Ashram Sun rises in the light of Her spirit. Produced by the prolific Carlos Niño, whose vision has become a pivotal point for contemporary progressive jazz music, Ashram Sun features appearances from musical luminaries, including multi-instrumentalist Angel Bat Dawid, Los Angeles saxophonist Randal Fisher, vocalist Mia Doi Todd, as well as collaborations with vocalist MidnightRoba and acclaimed harpist and vocalist Radha Botofasina, among others. The album continues to expand on and conversate with the innovative spiritual-jazz configurations of recent works by Shabaka Hutchings, André 3000 and Carlos Niño —all of which Surya plays on. This evolution follows from his debut album ‘Everyone’s Children’, also produced by Niño, which was one of the earliest offerings of this fresh, spiritual approach. As the keyboardist on André 3000’s New Blue Sun and an integral member of André’s touring group, Surya has already directly brought the legacy of Alice Coltrane/Turiyasangitananda into this rich new current in creative music. In 2018, just over a decade after Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda’s passing, wildfires in California tragically burned the Sai Anantam Ashram to the ground. The light of the Ashram set in the flames, but Ashram Sun allows it to rise again in energy and music. The cover of the album features Surya on the steps of the fire-cleansed Ashram, a dedication to the place that he still calls ‘home’ and a statement of his devotion to the enspirited sound-message that Turiyasangitananda instilled in him. ‘The Ashram has taught me how to be a father to my unbelievably beautiful son and daughter; brother to the immediate and soul family; human being to the planet, and more,’ he explains. ‘Swamini and the Ashram has taught me that the only place worth going to, is within… I am always going to be an Ashram Sun.’

André 3000's 'New Blue Sun' Vancouver Review

Highly anticipated ambient jazz show marks a new dawn but leaves fans ATLienated

Birdsong, crickets and rich ambient soundscapes echoed through the deep purples, rosy reds and starlit ceiling of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver on Friday October 11. The scene was perfectly set for a first glimpse at André 3000's highly anticipated 'New Blue Sun Live' Concert series, an unexpected leftfield step into instrumental ambient jazz from the seven-time grammy winning hip hop icon.

Warm up act serpentwithfeet created a suitably gentle atmosphere with kind-hearted crowd participation numbers and feel good R&B. Despite a few empty seats in the pit, likely a result of the high ticket pricing, the room was poised and curious to see how this drastic stylist shift would translate to the stage.  

Origins, synergy and mystical synchronicity

The cosmic butterfly effect that led to the creation of André 3000's 'New Blue Sun' album has already become a tale of folklore. There have been countless stories of André, seemingly never to be found without some kind of wind instrument in hand, serenading unsuspecting Uber drivers and wandering the strip of his new home of Venice Beach like a nomadic jazz monk. It was one such encounter with legendary Californian music arranger and percussionist Carlos Niño in a Venice Beach grocery store that apparently sparked a creative partnership between the two that birthed the 'New Blue Sun's album project. Niño does admit that he had been keeping an eye out for André when he heard he'd moved to town but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Before this reawakening, again mythically attributed to a Hawaiian ayahuasca trip (referenced in the album track 'That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into A Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn't Control...Shit Was Weird'), André admitted that he had been suffering with creative block, social anxiety and a mounting sense of pressure to deliver something great in this next phase of his life. In a candid interview with hip hop mogul Rick Rubin on the 'Broken Record' podcast he sounded lost and fearful of his legacy. There was however a flicker of light in André's voice when he began speaking about his new meditative morning breathing routine, involving experimentation with an eclectic set of wind instruments.

Building anticipation - A deep, earthy and aesthetically engaging opening

The show began with a striking visual of a single white beam of light entering a prism just above what looked like a traffic cone before splitting into reds and greens in front of André, backed by his supporting musicians and six lights in a half-crest formation behind the stage. The lighting overall was dark and moody with André just about visible with his red jazz-elder beanie and glasses.

He was stood before a blanket that housed numerous flutes, whistles and other tools. To his right was keyboardist, and Alice Coltrane disciple, Surya Botofasina. At the back was the aforementioned Carlos Niño who seemed to set the tone with various percussion instruments, gongs, shakers and even plants which were a big source of inspiration for the album. To his left, composer and percussionist Deantoni Parks, responsible for the pulsing beat that surfaced through the evening.

The opening song built slowly with Carlos Niño employing various rattles, bushes and what looked like a slinky being swung above head at various points. André let out a mix of guttural and high pitched yelps and animalistic sounds in what felt like a Sun Ra-esque free jazz introduction. Some in the audience seemed bemused early on but for the most part the crowd was still on board and excited with yelps of approval in response to André.

After the first song, André reassuringly addressed the crowd with his southern charm and silky charisma. He introduced the band, cracked a few light jokes and explained the approach to the night - a purely improvised experiment and journey that we would all be embarking on together. It felt courageous and bold, in keeping with the album itself, but what was to follow unfortunately felt for the most part meandering, lacking cohesion and at times difficult to digest.

A brave pursuit but ATLienating for fans

There were some moments where it felt like the embers of an idea were burning but they were never fully formed or realized. A deep, dark primal drum beat from Deantoni Parks ultimately petered out. A lightsaber like hum and arpeggio riff from Surya Botofasina that felt like it could take things in a cosmic, electronic direction (adjacent to album track 'BuyPoloDisorder's Daughter Wears An André 3000 Shirt Embroidered') again pulsated and dropped out before ever taking hold.

Overall, there was a lack of melody, hooks, breaks or structure. There was no pattern, story or resolution to the jam-session musings. There were also no direct songs or distinct elements from the album that could be latched onto. Pure experimentation is a noble pursuit, but for a new group and an artist who is admittedly new to the instruments and finding his feet, it felt like a lot to take on.

At one point André began riffing in what sounded like an imitation of a primal language, which he jokingly admitted he had been making up on the spot. It was a funny moment, but a bit too close to the bone for someone attempting to communicate using instruments he wasn't necessarily fluent in.

It was hard to tell if the accomplished band were limited by André's range or if they were intentionally playing a supporting role but either way they were consigned to little more than background hushes, atmospheric flashes and ponderous patterns.

The final crescendo, albeit very charged, was particularly challenging and had the feel of a free jazz ayahuasca trip being led by an inexperienced astral traveler, with Andre finally slowing things down by breathing rhythmically into the microphone as the lights turned to blue.

New Blue Sun - A New Dawn for André 3000

I still love André 3000 and support this artistic change; the New Blue Sun album is fantastic and deserving of acclaim. This is undoubtedly the start of a process and an experimental phase for a long term project, but the current iteration felt ill equipped for such an ambitious undertaking. Despite the dark mood lighting, the stage left nowhere to hide. In the end, there was a limp standing ovation but no calls for an encore.

This felt like a harsh reset, a journey of purification teetering on the edge of a bad trip, but cleansing for what will hopefully now be futile ground for one of our generations true shining stars. The New Blue Sun is rising, but the cold light of day can be harsh.

Top 15 lemez idén ősszel

Csak azért is végigírom már, kicsit csalás ez persze. De legalább ellensúlyozhatom, hogy szeptemberben kb. semmi új lemezt nem hallgattam, cserében október-novemberben baromi sok nagyon erős album jött szembe. Szűrni kellett nagyon, hogy maradjon az öt/hó arány. Persze nem mind pont ősszel jött ki, de többsége igen. A SAULT lemezeket diszkvalifikáltam, mert akkor végképp nem maradt volna hely.  Így is kimaradt egy csomó tök jó (Jono McCleery, Loraine James, Surya Botofasina, ADHD, Michael Blake stb..)

Tulipa Ruiz - Habilidades Extraordinárias 

Az új megjelenések közül kevés brazil lemez kapott el idén eddig, Ruiz új albuma volt az egyik. Modern brazil popzene, a rock, a hip-hop, a funk, a szamba és még jó pár hazai műfaj mezsgyéjén. Azaz MPB.

Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen

Ha egy lemezt ennyire sokat kell fejtegetnem az nem feltétlenül jó, de inkább a jófajta különlegessége maradt meg ennek az albumnak. Még úgy is, hogy egyébként nem hallgattam nagyon sokat, és semmiképp nem ugranék fel a hypevonatra, de tényleg nagyon különleges, amit csinál.

Time Wharp - Spiro World

Minimalistába hajló, repetitív témákra épülő, alapvetően elektronikus lemez organikus, élő sounddal. Nagyon jól működött csendesebb estékhez, hosszabb buszozáshoz a városban.

Makaya McCraven - In These Times

Imádok mindent, amit ez a faszi csinál. Az új album az eddigi talán legerősebb alapot adja ki a spirituális jazzes emelkedettség és a hip-hopos húzás keverékéből. Erre jön aztán a mindenféle finom hangszeres megoldás, a néha melanko jazzes fújások, vonósok, néha felvillanyozó harmóniák. Nagy zenei agy Makaya, akiben sok minden keveredik. A Lullaby című számban az anyukája Zsigmondi Ágnes által sokszor neki énekelt altató, ami egyébként egy régi Kolinda dallamra épül.

Khruangbin & Vieux Farka Touré - Ali

Sima Khruangbin lemez > Khruangbin & valaki. Egyrészt ez a tanulsága az elmúlt két évnek, másrészt meg az, hogy annyira egyedi az a sosemvolt világ, amit teremtettek ők hárman, hogy az még másokhoz idomulva, kissé leárnyékolva is az egyik legjobb dolog, amit hallani lehet manapság.

Coby Sey - Conduit 

Nagyon erős és nagyon különleges, egyedi lemez. Utóbbi a fontosabb. Nem is azért, mert sokféle hatás keveredik (lemezek hány százalékánál írják ezt le manapság?), hanem ahogy megjelenik mindez. Egyszerre fragmentáltan, mégis megbonthatatlan egészként, mintha valami fura kortárs koncept artot néznénk, hallgatnánk. Ami azért sem annyira távoli párhuzam, mert Sey spoken word szövegelése tele van társadalompolitikai töltettel, miközben néha a valóságtól elemelt, álomszerű, már-már spirituálisba hajló az egész. De ahogy tematikájában, úgy hangzásában is jó értelemben feszítik ezek az ellentétes hatások a számokat. Ahogy a Quietusnak mondta: embracing lightness and darkness. Élőben mondjuk inkább a sötétség győzött a Trafóban. Év egyik legjobb lemeze.

Hermanos Gutierrez - El Bueno Y El Mayo

A Gutierrez testvérek a Khruangbin-recept szerint dolgoznak, már olyan értelemben, hogy egyetlen zenei ötletre épül egyelőre az egész munkásságuk, de ez mégis sokadszorra is működik. Még úgy is, hogy ez az ötlet (itt éppen valami tex-mex prérire elképzelt soundtrack egy western gitárhős meneteléséhez az ismeretlenbe) kevésbé gazdag, jóval kisebb teret enged a felfedezésnek, mint a Khruangbin színes multikulti fantáziái. Viszont így is kellően magával ragadó, kellően messze visz, amikor hallgattam mindig úgy éreztem ez éppen a legjobb dolog. Ennél nem kell több.

Oded Tzur - Isabela 

Ékes példája annak, hogy borzasztóan felületesen követem csak a kortárs jazzt (vagy annyira se), hogy idén hallottam először Tzurról. Pedig már az előző lemeze kapcsán mindenki John Coltrane-t emlegette vele és zenekarával kapcsolatban, ahogy teszik azt most is. Nekem ez nem feltétlenül ennyire egyértelmű, Míg Coltrane-nel kapcsolatban senki fejében fel sem merülhet a giccs gyanúja, Tzurt hallgatva ez néhány szívtelen emberben előfordulhat. Sokkal polírozottabb, csillogóbb a hangzás, ez nem valami lerobbant jazz klub, ez az Opus. (Ott is lépett fel legutóbb, mint gyors gugli keresés után megtudtam.). Mindettől függetlenül imádom, dehát én a szépelgős filmzenés jazzt is megeszem (á lá Gondwana Records).

Dawn Richard and Spencer Zahn - Pigments

Kevés lemez volt ilyen hatással rám idén, mint ez. Azonnal beszippant bármikor is hallgatom. És elég sokat hallgatom. Kora reggel, este, napközben, otthon, úton, akárhogy. Ambient, jazz, R&B. Legmélyebb pillanatokban is megtölt élettel, egyes számokban igazán felvillanyozó, összességében mégis megnyugtató lemez. 

Beth Orton - Weather Alive

Az év poplemeze? Persze kérdés mit értünk pop alatt, de mondjuk legyen az év felnőtt poplemeze. De lehet ez is hülyeség. Egyszerűen egy érzékeny, nagyon mai, de mégis nagyon időtlen lemez, nem is hullámzó, inkább csak finoman fodrozódó dalokkal, amikből árad valami bölcsesség, megnyugvás, helyén levés. Legalábbis valami olyan, ahol mi is szeretnénk lenni. 

Duval Timothy - Meeting with a Judas Tree

Soulful szólózongorás lemez, helyenként elektronikával szétroncsolva. Eléggé filmzeneszerű az egész, egyáltalán nem annyira megfogható, mint Timothy két évvel ezelőtti mesterműve. De így is elég jó.

Isla Craig - Echo’s Reach

Az egyik legkedvencebb lemezem idén. Craig egyszerre tudja megidézni napjaink R&B énekesnőit és a klasszikus női singer-songwriter dalnokokat miközben szépen felépített harmóniák díszítik a dalokat, mindennek tetején pedig talán minden dalban megszólal az ellenálhatatlanul búgó szaxofon. Beth Orton lemeze mellé, vagy rögtön azután mehet ez.

Akusmi - Fleeting Future 

Steve Reich + kozmik jazz + kis gamelán. Valami ilyesmi a képlet, és imádom a végeredményt. Itt egy szuper playlist is, amit maga Pascal Bideau (aka Akusmi) állított össze a lemezhez kapcsol��dva. 

Alice Boman - The Space Between

Hibátlan melanko-pop. Pedig egyre kevésbé tud megfogni ez a fajta szomorkodás, és nincs is benne semmi újdonság, de ha ilyen színvonalon csinálják, akkor vevő vagyok rá. Boman hangszíne is nagyon szép, de egyszerűen a dalok annyira perfekt popszámok, hogy nincs is mit hozzátenni. (Talán csak annyit, hogy a Perfume Geniusszel közös Feels Like a Dream az év egyik legjobb dala simán.)

ELIZA - A Sky Without Stars

Sokadjára azért veszít az erejéből, de még így is simán az érdekesebb poplemezek között a helye. Nem érezni a Coby Sey-féle súlyokat, inkább szikár, modern soul, de ugyanúgy hamisítatlan brit hangzással. A maga szűk pályáján bejátszik mindent, amit lehet, kattogó elektronika, puha jazzy sound, éles pergőkkel tartott neo-soul, klasszikus trip-hop; minden van itt. Nagyon jó esti soundtrack.
