Andre 3000 is truly an artist of his generation and has proven it once again in a meaningful way by contributing to a project that celebrates trans people.
how? Last year, the nonprofit Red Hot recruited top artists like Sam Smith, Sade, Andre 3000, and about 100 artists in total to create TRANSA—3.5 hours of exploring identity through music. Andre 3000’s contribution to this was vocal. Now, he’s back with a 26-minute music video!
Inspired by the “poetic intention” of Édouard Glissant and the opaque aesthetics of fifth-generation console games, Andre created an artwork that explores “being born into the world… viewing the world as a relationship… as a poetics of alterity,” as expressed in a note to the press.
