Over the weekend, fans of André 3000, also known as 3 Stacks, were abuzz when he flooded social media with posters about his missing blue notebook filled with ‘black sketches and notes.’ This search started a wave of excitement among fans hoping for a new album.
The posters, as well as a new Instagram account and website dedicated to finding the notebook, fueled speculation that this was a promotional campaign for a new rap project. Many believed this was just the beginning of something big.
However, this was not the case. A representative for André 3000 explained to Stereogum that it was indeed a real search for his notebook, taking fans by surprise.
Despite the lack of new rap music, André 3000 did release an EP titled ‘7 Piano Sketches.’ However, fans hoping to hear him rap were disappointed as the OutKast legend focuses on piano improvisations.
In a candid Instagram post, André 3000 shared his process, explaining that the tracks are spontaneous piano pieces he recorded over the years, mostly at home. ‘Warning: no bars,’ he cautioned, setting expectations straight.
He admitted that these melodies weren’t intended for public release and were initially shared only with family and friends through casual recordings made on his phone or laptop, with one exception recorded in a studio.
Interestingly, he even carried a piano on his back to the Met Gala, promoting his EP in a quirky, memorable way. This further highlights his dedication and love for piano music.
André 3000’s notebook may still be missing, but his passion for music continues to thrive and surprise fans.
