André 3000 keeps following the music wherever it goes — this time onto film. "7 Piano Sketches," a wordless short he co-wrote and co-directed with Graham Mason, is now streaming exclusively on MUBI. It moves with the expressiveness of a silent comedy: André journeys to work with a piano strapped to his back and a notebook of sketches in hand, meeting a cast of characters along the way.
The film is soundtracked by his 2025 EP of the same name, a set of instrumental piano recordings he made in Texas a decade before New Blue Sun. It's of a piece with his post-rap second act — an ode to art, connection, and the human experience, more interested in mood and craft than verses. It arrived the same week as a stacked slate of new music.
