US EditionAndre 3000 wore a piano to the Met Gala and dropped a matching album
- On May 5, 2025, Andre 3000 wore a piano on his back at the Met Gala in New York while releasing his new instrumental album '7 Piano Sketches.'
- The album follows his 2023 debut alternative jazz instrumental album 'New Blue Sun,' which contains music recorded on his iPhone nearly a decade earlier.
- Andre 3000 described the piano pieces as personal, home-recorded improvisations inspired by favorite pianists like Thelonious Monk and Vince Guaraldi.
- He explained the original title 'The Best Worst Rap Album In History' reflects the project’s lack of lyrics and its emotional freedom, calling it a "palette cleanser."
- 'New Blue Sun' received three Grammy nominations, including a nod for Album of the Year, and this autumn, Outkast will be honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
