Ever present throughout the '70s and '80s, the Commodores were able to switch in the blink of an eye from driving funk get-downs to soaring balladry. Led for much of their commercial peak by Lionel Richie, the group notched up seven Number One singles, millions of record sales and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Andr 3000, renowned for his infectious hip-hop style as part of Outkast, took a bold artistic turn in 2023 with the release of his debut solo album "New Blue Sun.". Moving away from groovy beats and emotional wordplay, Andre released an entirely instrumental album (featuring lots of flutes). Andre 3000 will be bringing the New Blue Sun to life with Carlos Nio, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks.
