Andre 3000 was at the Met Gala on Monday, and as with many there, he had a wild outfit. His getup featured a (simulated) piano strapped to his back, and at the same time, he dropped a surprise EP titled, "7 Piano Sketches." His website discusses how it was material recorded over some years that was meant, at first, more as an experiment to share with friends. It is a fun example of someone who is quite gifted just messing and having fun--with aurally enjoyable results. He is still not rapping, but he doesn't have to do that for us to listen. I've said before that Andre 3000 owes us nothing, so the fact he is giving us anything, be it an album with woodwinds or him tinkering at a piano, is lovely.
