Just when everything felt like it was lost and we were ready to throw in our collective proverbial towels, Andre 3000 hit us with the best song ever written in the history of music, in the history of songs.
If there’s one thing that all music critics across the world can agree on it’s that Hey Ya is the best song ever recorded. We’re stoked that it’s being reissued on vinyl.
Yeah, Hey Ya changed the world and Outkast proved that not all was lost. Today it’s been revealed that Outkast will reissue give their beloved fifth studio album, Speakerboxxx/Love Below on wax!
Originally released back in 2003 by LaFace Records, the release is split into two solo albums by the group’s members. Big Boi’s Speakerboxxx is a P-Funk-influenced 808-driven hip hop album, while André 3000 draws on a range of flavours including psychedelic, pop, funk, electro, and jazz on The Love Below.
“Both albums display the playful experimentation of their two very distinct styles and yet it is still undoubtedly an Outkast album,” says the label. Find the tracklist below.
Due on 7 April via Legacy Vinyl pre-orders can be placed here.
