After 17 Years, Meet Barless André 3000 - Rapper Turned Flautist - New Blue Sun - Album Review
For the first time in 17 years Barless André is still spitting gems despite he apparently 'doesn't have much to say.' The Outkast who felt too old for rap has remerged as a young flautist, and it's a wake-up call to the inner child in all of us artists. On the 50th Anniversary of the game, Hip-Hop is on a very new frequency, although a bit out of tune on some levels. We'll explore how the elements of Sound Healing are fueling a paradigm shift toward new mindsets in music with spiritual discovery.

Introduction:
The other day, I stumbled upon a profound discussion on Rich's channel, BlackMagik363, shedding light on a topic that often goes unnoticed in our community. Over the past few years, it's evident that only a handful of people are truly versed in this realm, yet the very integrity of our culture teeters on this delicate balance. This falls right in line with the discussions about the organic powers of frequency we've been having at Secret Energy lately (the world's first conscious social media platform founded by mentor Sevan Bomar, who was also featured recently). Throughout this phase of his life André 3000 seems to be coming from a place that feels very Quantumly aligned, and we can always expect the unexpected. So, let's dive in.
Key Insights:
The flute as an instrument connects to the soul and the spiritual realm. In some ways André 3000 is ushering in high vibrational frequencies and "benevolent entities" to positively impact listeners.
The album title refers to predictions that our sun will turn blue and cooler in the distant future. This represents something futuristic and "cool" relative to current hot temperatures and tense societal factors. While mistakenly considered 'New Age', the Blue Kachina story goes far back with the history of the Hopi Tribes in America.
Much of technology today emits artificial "blue light" that research shows can negatively impact health. This album provides healing "sonic blue light" frequencies from nature. You can easily find affordable Blue Light Blocking glasses on my Amazon recommendations here.
André 3000 continues Outkast's legacy of going against the grain to push hip-hop forward. Though unconventional, the album delivers medicine through its frequencies.
Several song names reference the duality of good/evil (Gandhi, Jesus Christ, serial killers). The album overall leans toward uplifting themes.
The Arrival of "The New Blue Sun"
I've been eagerly awaiting the release of "The New Blue Sun," the latest album from the highly regarded creative genius André 3000, the other half of the iconic Outkast. Rich, through his soulful channel, BlackMagik363, has been a notable figure for our niche communities. I've taken his Blueprint to Godpower workshop and saw it sparked a surprising major shift in the consciousness of our community. This platform hosts an extraordinary family of influential speakers, delving into topics ranging from spirituality to emerging science, pop culture, and lost history/herstory. Recently, veterans in the game have been sharing insights on advancing mindsets and entering healing spaces within the Black community.
I heard a quote the other day that stuck out to me and I feel like it applies to this…
"Music creates us before we create music" - Unknown
We're only learning how to get in tune with ourselves. With that said, beyond the success and fame, let's peel back the layers of the immortal rhythm behind what it means to be a creator in 2023/2024.
Ps. Somehow I noticed other reviews missed this, but we may as well start at square one.
…For those who have no idea what the actual Blue Kachina or New Blue Sun is, its pretty big stuff!!!
Optional Viewing: BLUE KACHINA, COUNCIL OF 12, LASCO SOHO, EXOPLANETS, ET. VS. ALIEN, CERN, DNA
Depending on how invested you are (feel free to skip) this is one of the more interesting things I've found on it you might not see to many other places… just innerstand there's levels to the dives, today ain't the day to go all in, most people ain't ready for it, but if you feel called to discover something bigger, why not keep an open mind?
DNA-Level Breakdown: With KT The Arch Degree
I've particularly appreciated the perspectives of KT The Arch Degree, who brings a high level of health knowledge, taking it to a DNA level. One glaring issue in our community is the lack of connection to our true history, roots, and the need to re-bridge those gaps to jog our cellular memory. Witnessing my people self-sabotage is frustrating, however I innerstand the nuance lost in translation as events unfold. Now, a bit older and a perspective shaped by being an artist and having that lens, I recognize that self-expression stems from creativity, which in turn emanates from life force—Chi, Prana—balanced within ourselves personally and on a broader level.
In KT's decoding, this conceptual framing relates strongly to prophecies of the Blue Star Kachina, a Hopi spirit guide that accompanies monumental transitions in human evolution. Its arrival signifies the dawning of a new era that soon culminates in the Great Purification - facilitating a shedding of toxin-laden elements to reorder a higher state of enlightened civilization.
Reality Check: Music, Babylon, and Uninspired Sounds
In the land of Babylon where they forever babble on.
"Let us go down and confuse them"
- Genesis 11:7
Don't trip, we're not in Sunday School right now, but there's some parallels to the bigger picture from then to now. Drawing connections back to modern day, he argues this purification has direct connotations to current societal tensions and the prevalence of heavy metals and nanotechnology in commonly consumed foods and drugs. Hence, André 3000 taps into his production approach as well as lyrical content to counterbalance these dystopic ingredients with restorative frequencies from Mother Nature herself.
Track titles waver between polarizing figures like religious deities, humanitarians, and serial killers, unveiling the dualities of light and dark that comprise the universe as we perceive it. Yet the frequencies anchor more so towards soul-nourishing themes of moving forward in peace to new earths and fresh beginnings.
With the New Blue Sun, 3000 spotlights the toxicity of artificial light plaguing human bodies attached to relentlessly buzzing devices, flipping the script to gift nourishing sonic blue light in its place. Where corporate and political greed rears its head corrupting Hip Hop's purity, he counters by injecting generosity to restart music education for schools devoid of arts funding.
Ultimately, reality shows are far from reality, and the priorities of the average Westerner American resemble Babylon waiting to fall, particularly evident in the types of uninspired music consumed daily. Personally, I've steered clear of the radio, preferring to seek out new bands and discover fresh sounds. Although I naturally gravitate towards Hip-Hop, I find inspiration in diverse genres. "The New Blue Sun" arrives at a critical juncture when labels sign fewer Hip-Hop artists, sparking debates on the rise of Afrobeats and Reggaeton as major players in the game. As Hip-Hop celebrates its 50th-year anniversary, opinions on its thriving evolution clash, leaving me to ponder if we're somewhere in the middle.
Channeling Life's Breath Through Woodwind
I mean it starts off with the first track named:
I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A "Rap" Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time
As I learn to play bass it's inspiring to see #1 Hip-Hop artist André 3000 who has always followed the beat of his own drum, daring to stand out from the crowd sonically and aesthetically through being a child again during this evolution of his music career. In examining 3000's latest left turn into the jazz cosmos with his wooden flute immersed in hand, KT reveals striking connections to the very instrument itself worth noting…
According to ancient lore, the flute channels the breath of life, weaving a transcendent tapestry that taps into the human soul. Its mythic sounds evoke the cosmic Pied Piper, who legend tells could control minds and bodies through hypnotic song. Hence, André 3000 in KT's eyes serves as a modern-day Avatarana, like Avatar The Last Airbender, sharing tools of his ancestors to impact mass consciousness.
Just as the breath intertwines with all facets of life, the album delivers a free-flowing organic energy, like a weightless dance partner for the listener's soul. In the album you hear how winds sweep through the lush soundscapes with grounded rhythms echoing natural cycles, conjuring up images of birds elegantly crisscrossing blue skies - at GQ André 3000 described it like starting off in a garden.
This connection resonates when examining the album's opening track "This Life Makes Me Want to Leave This Body." Here, 3000's flute serves as a celestial launch pad for self-actualized liberation, transporting minds to plane where departed souls turn dreams to reality. This is the same thought train that led to Metaphysical Anatomy. And got me back on Qi-Gong!
Divine Co-Creation: Balancing Responsibility and Letting Go
If you are into design and business and follow Chris Do & The Futur, you might have noticed his hat that reads 'God is a Designer.' The simplicity of this resonates deeply with me. I consider myself a divine co-creator, striving to balance creation with conscious responsibility. Letting go while maintaining the mindset of a guardian, I prioritize the well-being of both myself and those experiencing my work. Every piece of art I create must have a grounding element, ensuring it ties everything together.
Stars Aligned: Keeping Tabs on Fellow Geminis
With that said, I keep a watchful eye on my fellow Geminis—3 stacks, Ye, Prince, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Lauryn Hill, JFK, 073 Shake, and others. Drawing inspiration from them, I recognize similar qualities, perhaps written in the stars or mere coincidence. It helps to see both sides. Now, let's delve into the different sides of André 3000's album, exploring the spiritual soundscape with insights gained.

As artistic descendants, we're called to write the hopeful melodies of the future, embracing the transformative power of authentic, soul-stirring music. It also serves as a catalyst, with the spirit of the Godfather coming through arts like Tyler The Creator, Teezo Touchdown, CRXSH, and many more.

Many of us already know that when 'they' release something to the public, our government is about 20 years ahead in actuality. These types of 'Star Trek Tech' have been around, yet challenge the old paradigms of thinking, and thus have been largely suppressed until rather recently.
