New Blue Sun, technically André’s first solo studio album, was met with positive reviews upon its release via Epic Records last year. Amid the rollout, the Outkast alum also spoke candidly in a carefully curated selection of interviews about his artistic process, the ever-evolving nature of his work, and his initial hesitancy to return to the spotlight at this scale. Along the way, the album was also made the subject of a special IMAX event, with André at one point bringing album cut "That Night in Hawaii When I Turned into a Panther and Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn't Control ... Sh¥t Was Wild" to The Late Show.
