André 3000 will not participate in Grammy’s Sunday evening even though he is nominated for this year’s album. The rapper and singer writer’s “New Blue Sun” was a surprising addition to the nominated list.
“Unfortunately, I can’t participate in Grammys tomorrow but some of the” new blue sun “musicians, friends and supporters will participate,” he wrote Sunday on Instagram.
“Our album was designed and recorded in Los Angeles with the spirit of openness and creative collaboration,” André added. “We hope that the recovery of Los Angeles is fast and renewal. Congratulations on all musicians and collaborators being recognized. Keep playing. “
André announced the album in November 2023. The record was equally co -produced by André and the instrumentalist and music producer Carlos Gabriel Niño and was released on November 14 of that year. The qualification period for 2025 Grammys is September 16, 2023 to August 30, 2024.
“The album is a fantastic 87 minutes in a joint post with André.
“André does not sing on this joint either. What he does is play flute, and lots of it – counterbass flute, Maya flute, bamboo flutes – along with other digital wind instruments. Instead of lyrics, he offers eight provocative song titles, the first one almost reads as a low excuse, with a feeling blink of irony: ‘I swear, I really wanted to make a’ rap ‘album but this is literally how the wind blew me This time. “”
