In
a recent interview with GQ magazine, Andre 3000 revealed that there is no new
OutKast album in the works as of now. However, he did say he will release a
solo album.
"There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet about
an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another
OutKast album. There’s a lot of music on the horizon. I’ve been
living off the excitement of new artists. I’ve been privileged to have
these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, “Hey, Andre,
we want you on this song.” So I’ve been taking those calls and for
the last two years, I’ve been doing collaborations. So these new artists
have kind of been keeping me alive. I’ve just really been feeding off
of that and this year I think I’m planning to do a solo project. I don’t
know when it will come out, but hopefully it’ll come out this year. As
far as OutKast, I really don’t know if or when that will happen."
On the new solo album, Andre wants to go back to how it was when
he first started with OutKast.
"The only thing I can really say is I’m going
to get back to having fun because that’s what it was all about when I
started this in high school—with OutKast—those were like high school
dreams. I’m 36 now, so I have grown-man dreams. This album will just be
me being myself as normal."
