Podcasts about new blue sun

André Benjamin, popularly known as André 3000, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and actor best known as one half of the Southern hip hop duo Outkast. Described by Rolling Stone as “one of the genre's most gifted lyricists,” André helped redefine Southern rap with classic albums like ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia, and the Grammy-winning Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, producing hits such as “Ms. Jackson” and “Hey Ya!” Beyond Outkast, he has contributed to music as a producer and collaborator with artists including Aretha Franklin, John Legend, and Frank Ocean, while also acting in films including Four Brothers and portraying Jimi Hendrix in Jimi: All Is by My Side. In 2023, André released his ambient flute album New Blue Sun, earning three Grammy nominations for Album of the Year, Best Alternative Jazz Album, and Best Instrumental Composition. This year, André released his album 7 Piano Sketches, a short, intimate collection of mostly improvised piano pieces that showcases the artist's continued exploration of instrumental music beyond his hip hop roots. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Athletic Nicotine https://www.athleticnicotine.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter

For this episode we're joined all the way from Harlem in New York City by venerable hip hop writer Havelock Nelson. The first rap editor at industry bible Billboard talks about his early years in his birthplace Guyana and his love of marching bands in the country's capital Georgetown. From there we hear about his family's move to Brooklyn in 1973 and his early exposure to rap and breakbeat tapes in high school. Havelock recalls the pioneering hip hop fanzines Word Up! and Black Beat – plus the seminal rap writings of Greg Tate and Nelson George – before recounting his experiences as a columnist on Billboard. He also explains the genesis of Bring the Noise, the 1991 "guide to rap music and hip-hop culture" he co-authored with fellow RBP contributor Michael A. Gonzales. Mention of our guest's 1994 interview with the Notorious B.I.G. takes us into discussion of the synergy between hip hop's rising stars and rap media such as The Source magazine. Havelock also reflects on memorable interviews he did with the likes of KRS-One, Slick Rick, LL Cool J and Salt-N-Pepa. The latter duo takes us into audio clips from an audio interview with a Virginia-born artist who was profoundly influenced by them: the one and only Missy Elliott, speaking to Sara Scribner after the release of 1997's debut album Supa Dupa Fly... followed by the voices of her collaborators Timbaland and Magoo. The publication of Taschen's monumental new 75 Years of Atlantic Records prompts reflections on the legendary label co-founded by the late Ahmet Ertegun, plus our thoughts on the present-day roster that includes Charli XCX, Bruno Mars, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran. The episode concludes with quotes from newly-added library pieces about artists such as Wee Willie Harris, Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich, the Pharcyde and André 3000.

When introducing multi-instrumentalist Nate Mercereau from the stage every night on his New Blue Sun live tour,  André 3000 would say: "I call him a Magician, he plays guitar, but it almost never sounds like a guitar.” This statement can easily be applied to Mercereau’s forthcoming album Excellent Traveller, a sonic journal where everything you hear has come through the guitar — a palette of recordings made either live or in the studio — with Nate’s fingerprints all over.

On our survey of the week's most exciting new albums, WRTI's Nate Chinen and NPR Music's Sheldon Pearce get all wrapped up in the amniotic embrace of a new album by a guru of the L.A. ambient-jazz scene.The new album by Carlos Niño & Friends is called Placenta. If you know anything about Niño, you'll probably be able to guess that the subject that title suggests — pregancy and childbirth — are taken very seriously. Those "Friends" are crucial too: Niño has become a central figure in a scene whose reverberations are starting to be felt well beyond the community itself, and are drawing more artists in. You can hear Niño on André 3000's flute album New Blue Sun, and André returns the favor here.Also this week: The fourth album by DIIV sees the indie rock group leaning into shoegaze-inspired sounds, and Andrew Bird creates an album in tribute to the "Golden Era" jazz tunes of the 1930s and '40s he heard on Sunday morning radio shows as a young adult in Chicago.Featured Albums:• Carlos Niño & Friends, Placenta• DIIV, Frog in Boiling Water• Andrew Bird Trio, Sunday Morning Put-On Other notable albums out May 24: • Tiny Habits, All For Something• Vince Staples, Dark Times• Alex Sipiagin, Horizons• Machinedrum, 3FOR82• Joshua Moshier, semipermanence• Nathy Peluso, GrasaLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Carlos Niño is from Los Angeles, and has been a vital part of that city's music scene for almost 30 years. He started out as a radio DJ when he was still a teenager, and expanded from that into putting on shows, releasing records, producing sessions for artists, performing and doing just about everything else that a life in music will eventually drop in someone's lap. He's developed really long creative relationships with two other people who've been on this podcast in the past, vocalist Dwight Trible and percussionist Adam Rudolph, both of whom work at least part of the time in the area that's currently governed by the term spiritual jazz.If you look around, you'll see Carlos's name on a lot of really fascinating projects. He makes records as Carlos Niño and Friends, which is a good way of summarizing his methods and his aesthetic — he gets together with people who he considers friends and kindred spirits, they make music together, and he assembles it all. But the people he calls friends are some of the most fascinating musicians around right now. He's worked with Shabaka Hutchings, with Kamasi Washington, with Makaya McCraven, with Laraaji, and right now he's very involved with André 3000's New Blue Sun project. He was one of the leaders of the sessions that produced the album, and he's also part of Andre's live band.Carlos has a new album coming out later this month called Placenta. It's his third release for International Anthem, following a previous Carlos Niño and Friends album and a duo release with South African pianist Thandi Ntuli, and it features a ton of guests, including frequent collaborators like Nate Mercereau and Surya Botofasina, as well as saxophonist Sam Gendel, drummer Deantoni Parks, Adam Rudolph, André 3000, and many, many others. It's a mix of live recordings and studio sessions, some of which go as far back as 2018, and they've all been reconstituted and overdubbed and collaged with vocals, field recordings, and all kinds of sound design into something really unique and kaleidoscopic. Although it's got elements of jazz and elements of New Age music, it's really hard to describe or categorize and it's not the kind of thing you can just put on in the background and chill with. It demands your attention. When it comes out, I recommend you sit with it and see what you get out of it. I think you'll find it very rewarding.I'm really glad I had the chance to talk to Carlos Niño. He's a really interesting guy with a very open and optimistic creative philosophy that I think will be inspiring to those of you who make art yourselves, whether it's music or something else, and even to those of you who are just interested in art and creativity generally. Thanks as always for listening.

This week, Dana and Julia are joined by Jamelle Bouie, Opinion columnist at The New York Times and co-host of Unclear and Present Danger. The panel begins by diving into Ridley Scott's Napoleon, a visually sumptuous biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix that attempts to chronicle the legendary historical figure's life and reduce him to human size, yet fails to do so within its 2 ½ hour runtime. Then, the three jump into Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, a new eight-part animated Netflix series that offers an alternate version of its protagonist, Scott Pilgrim (who was first depicted in Bryan Lee O'Malley's series of graphic novels then later in Edgar Wright's cult classic film, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), and reunites much of the movie's brilliant original cast. Finally, they discuss André 3000's New Blue Sun, a transcendent ambient album laced with flute-base soundscapes that on its face seems like a complete departure from the rapper's previous work in Outkast, but actually depicts a piece of him that's been present in his music all along.   In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel takes advantage of Jamelle's baking prowess and discusses best practices and tips in the kitchen, before turning to the eternal, all-important question: When you bake, do you use a measuring scale? And if so, why?    We're also accepting submissions to our yearly call-in show, where Dana, Julia, and Stephen answer questions from Culture Gabfest listeners. Get in touch! Submit a question by calling (260) 337-8260 or emailing us at culturefest@slate.com. Outro music: “By the Riverside” by Lindsey Abraham Endorsements: Jamelle: The 4K restoration of one of his favorite movies, The Fugitive (1993), starring Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford. It's an underrated and beautiful Chicago movie.  Julia: A deep cut from her personal Summer Strut playlist: Bob Dylan's 1997 song “Not Dark Yet,” which appeared on the album Time Out of Mind.  Dana: Inspired by their discussion of André 3000's new album, Dana endorses a different avant-garde flute enthusiast: Eric Dolphy, the American multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Specifically, his fantastic 1964 jazz album, Out to Lunch.  Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong.  If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

As many male rappers seem to become more depressed or vindictive in their lyrics, the women of rap appear to be having all the fun. One show that captures this moment is Rap Sh!t on Max. Brittany sits down with the showrunner and writer, Syreeta Singleton. They discuss the complexities of navigating the rap game as a Black woman, the new social media landscape, and how rap and Rap Sh!t approach sexuality. Then, a conversation with Andre 3000. After 17 years, the rapper, producer, and instrumentalist is back with a new album, New Blue Sun. Notably, this album has no rapping and focuses on the artists passion for the flute. In honor of the occasion, host Brittany Luse passes the mic to NPR colleague and host, Rodney Carmichael. In this excerpt of their hour long interview, Rodney and Andre retrace the artist's journey from rapper to flautist, the beauty of aging, and why there should be more celebration in death.

Steven and Ian took a victory lap at the start of today's episode upon the news that Air is reuniting for a Moon Safari tour next year, right after they talked up the album in last week's Best Of 1998 episode. Can they take credit for actualizing this? Probably not. But they did anyway.From there, they talk about one of the weirdest album release days of 2023. First, you have the new Andre 3000 flute album, New Blue Sun (6:25). Second, you have Dolly Parton's 141-minute"rock" album, Rockstar (25:49). Steven and Ian didn't get the chance to hear these albums before recording, which is just as well. It might be better to just imagine what they sound like. After that, they discussed the apparent anointment of Boygenius by the entertainment business — they were just on Saturday Night Live and then they garnered more Grammy nominations (seven) than Taylor Swift. Is it safe to call them the biggest act in indie music? (35:00) In the mailbag, a listener asks about the new album announcement for The Smile and what this means for the future of Radiohead (48:06).In Recommendation Corner (56:01), Ian shouts out the new book about '90s music by Rob Harvilla and Steven recommends the great new live album by MJ Lenderman.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Join Amanda Seales in the latest episode of The Amanda Seales Show on November 15, 2023, as she navigates through the peculiarities of the day, including the unexpected celebration of National Raisin Bran Cereal Day. Amanda reflects on the approaching Thanksgiving and dives into the surprising return of Dr. Jill Stein to the presidential arena. Legal matters take the spotlight as a judge rules on the admissibility of Young Thug's lyrics in court, provoking a broader conversation. The 60 Second Headlines touch on diverse topics, from Sen. Tim Scott suspending his presidential campaign to Snoop Dogg launching Death Row Games. The show introduces the new segment "Am I Trippin," offering advice on life's dilemmas. Plus, a Big Up/Let Down involving André 3000's unexpected move into flute-playing. The episode wraps up with phone calls, quizzes, and laughter. Tune in for the latest insights, laughs, and Amanda's unique perspective! FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:   (4:19) - Jill Stein announced that she would seek the Green Party nomination for the second time. Stein's case for her candidacy, as she tells it, is to “offer a choice for the people outside the failed two-party system.” Stein's abrupt relaunch into presidential politics comes weeks after Cornel West, a leading academic and progressive activist, decided to run as an independent after formerly campaigning with the Green Party.   (8:47) - Judge Ural Granville granted prosecutors the right to present a collective of Young Thug's rap lyrics in the trial against him and his YSL (Young Slime Life) associates amid their controversial RICO case. While Young Thug's defense team assured that the singles were only done in an artistically-driven manner, the court settled unfavorably, reportedly citing that their stance was “ridiculous.” Rapper Meek Mill said: “Locking us [up] for rapping got me scared to do [an] interview. Free Jeff. Free Lucci.”   (14:30) – 60 Second Headlines   STORY 1: Sen. Tim Scott has announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign, which failed to meet high expectations that the South Carolina Republican would at least go deep into the primary season.   STORY 2: Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus, have launched Death Row Games. The startup was created in support of minority creatives to help them design, develop, and publish content.   STORY 3: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced the launch of a new subcommittee that will allocate $500,000 of the city's 2024 budget to study reparations…for those who are the descendants of enslaved African Americans.   STORY 4: Lil Wayne has just become an investor and strategic advisor of the professional Pickleball Team, The Texas Ranchers.   STORY 5: JASON LEE, the Founder of Hollywood Unlocked is officially running for Stockton City Council District 6 [South Stockton]   (17:15) - Now it's time for Bringing Up Old Ish, with Conscious Lee. Dr. Calvin Lee and the Trick of Time   (21:59) - Coming up this hour…. Our new segment, Am I Trippin'... I'm pretty good at giving advice, and I've got some for you today. Hey ya!!! The Big Up Let Down involves an André 3000 and a flute.   (24:56) - Am I Trippin? Every day we all have those moments that make us double take, scratch our chins, and ask ourselves, am I trippin? Well, when you do, send us a DM @SealesSaidIt and tell us about your dilemma, and I'll weigh in on whether you're tripping like Ella Mai or somebody playing in your face. TODAY'S DILEMMA: My best friend has been dating this guy for about 6-7 months now, and it's been clear that she isn't into him like he's into her. He's not a bad guy or anything, but from what she says, he's just not keeping her attention. I think it's partially because her ex spun the block recently to holla, but that's a whole other story. Anyways, she decided to just break up with her current boyfriend about 2 weeks ago, and I ran into him at a mutual friend's party. He was clearly still upset and literally was crying on the balcony asking if there was anything I could do to help him save the relationship. I do feel bad for him, but I'm not trying to be in my friend's relationship drama. Am I right for staying out of it, or am I tripping?   (26:30) - It's The Amanda Seales Show… I'm Amanda Seales… Last break we introduced a new segment called “Am I Trippin?” where I weigh in on the dilemmas that have you conflicted. Today's question came in anonymously from a friend conflicted on whether they should get involved with their best friend's relationship after her ex was asking for help getting back together. They don't want to but feel bad for the guy. Here are my thoughts:   (29:17) - Big Up - shout out to André 3000! Announced a debut solo album titled “New Blue Sun". A couple of titles of tracks on the album: Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens; That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into A Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn't Control ... S*** Was Wild. On this album, he is reintroducing himself as a flutist. Let Down - WAIT WHAT?! HE'S PLAYING FLUTE AND NOT RAPPING?! I CHANGED MY MIND; THIS IS A LET DOWN.   (34:05) - Our phone lines are open, 24/7 at 855-AMANDA-8. That's 855-262-6328! I always like to hear from you. So call me!   (37:45) - Coming up this hour…. Why you bringing up old ish; That's not my ministry with Rita Brent; Professor Supreme will join us with a Blop Quiz. Issa Black Pop Quiz, what it is.   (42:15) - That's Not My Ministry with Rita Brent   (44:26) - Professor Supreme will join us for a Blop Quiz.   (48:25) - Let's go to the phones.. 1-855-262-6328.   (51:56) - It's time to listen, laugh, and learn… I have the word for the day…. And the word of the day is… SUFFUSE (Verb) To suffuse something is to spread over it or fill it. Either literally or figuratively.   (54:16) - Politicians say the darnedest things. During a hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.. Senator Markwayne Mullin (46) challenged Teamsters President Sean O'Brien to a fight.   (58:18) - Thank you for joining us on this Wednesday!   FOLLOW THE SHOW ON ALL SOCIALS: @Sealessaidit @Amandaseales @Jeremiahlikethebible If You Have A Comment Leave Amanda A Message At 1 855-Amanda-8 That's 1-855-262-6328  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time in nearly two decades, André 3000 is releasing an album of new music. New Blue Sun, set to be released this Friday, Nov. 17, is a stunning 87-minute mind-bender, minimalist and experimental, tribal and transcendent. One thing it is not, however, is a rap record. In a conversation with NPR Music's Rodney Carmichael, the legendary musician talks about creativity, grief and inspiration, about finding his voice in a new instrument, and explains why he took his music in a wildly unexpected direction. You can read the full interview with André 3000 at NPR.org/music.
