OutKast's Andre 3000 will release his debut solo album this week, but it'll be a departure from his signature rapping.
The MC said "New Blue Sun" will feature "no bars" and will be an all-instrumental album centered around woodwind instruments.
The first song on the album is titled, "I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A "Rap" Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time."
The 48-year-old said he had to find a way to say what he wanted to say in an interesting way that's appealing to him at his age.
"New Blue Sun" will be released on Friday.
