Where well you were André Benjamin, Aka andré 3000, Wore a piano on his back at the met gala and carried a trash? The multi-hyphenate showed up on the blue carpet in colberry in collaboration with HIS ONSWEAR LINE, Benji BixbyStyled by None Other than Blond Law RoachConfirming His Status As One of the Most Effartlessly Cool People Living and Working Right Now. But the piano on his back wasn’t just an accessory and openpened to throw on: Benjamin Also Dropped a Surprise Piano album Last Night to Go Along With His Outfit. Titled 7 piano sketchesThe Album Consists of, Well, Seven piano sketches that the artist has never intended to see the light of day.
“These piano pieces weren’t recorded with the intention of presenting say in any formal way to the public,” Benjamin Wrote on Instagram. “They were personal, at home recordings. I WaOLD SOMESTEMES say to my family and friends.” He recorded say all on an iPhone and a macbook, and the melodies are inspired by a few of his favor artists: “Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Philip Glass, Stephen Sudheim, Joni Mitchell and Vince Guaraldi.” The Guaraldi Influence Feels Most Apparent in These Jazzy, Sweet Tracks.
Benjamin notd that they sketches predate his 2023 instrumental album, New Blue Sunby About Ten Years. Like that album, 7 piano sketches Has Great Titles Such As “Blueberry Mansions” and “When You’re Ant and You Wake Up In An Awesome Mood, ABOUT TO DRIVE YOU SON TO SCHOOL, Only to Discover you left the Lights on the Car Last Night so you are drained.” Totally. AS A DISCLAIMER, Benjamin Also Noted of the Lineer “Warning: No Bars,” Adding, “It ‘Jokingly the Worst Rap Album in History Because there are no lyrics on it at all. It’ s best of the free-art emotionally and felt personally.” Well, for What Might Be One of the Worst Rap Albums in History, The Sketches are Benjamin’s Most Playful Work Yet: Sultry, Gentle, and Loose. The Opposite, Basically, of What It Might FEEL LIKE TO CARRY A Piano on Your Back.
