Andre 3000 is set to make a comeback, and fans can’t contain their excitement. The legendary Outkast member, known for his unpredictable and genre-defying career, recently revealed at Camp Flog Gnaw that new music is officially on the way in 2025. The news came during an interview with Wayno for Amazon Music, where the artist dropped the bombshell that has everyone talking.
When asked about his plans heading into the new year, Wayno posed the question, “What does an Andre 3000 vision board look like going into 2025?” Without hesitation, Andre responded, “New music for sure… new ways to distribute and express… I just want to express more.”
Though he didn’t elaborate on specific projects, the confirmation alone has fans eager to see what’s next from the innovative star.
Andre 3000’s solo career has been anything but ordinary. He shocked fans in recent years with the release of his first solo album and an unexpected pivot to instrumental jazz. Just last month, he dropped “Something Is Happening and I May Not Fully Understand but I’m Happy to Stand for the Understanding” on the Transa: Select compilation album, marking the first time his voice was featured on a track since stepping back from rapping. While this song stayed true to his instrumental journey, the inclusion of his vocals was a pleasant surprise.
Industry opinions on Andre’s shift from rap have been divided. Hip-hop legend LL Cool J criticized him for not giving fans the rap they crave, while Pharrell offered reassurance. “He not running, he just saying he not going to force it,” Pharrell told GQ. “What you love about him was when he was compelled. It’ll be back. When [he] does. He’s going to come in hot.”
Andre 3000’s desire to “express more” musically hints that his upcoming work could be just as boundary-pushing as ever. Whether it’s rap, jazz, or something entirely new, one thing is for sure: the world will be watching when Three Stacks returns.
