André 3000 Releases Instrumental Project ‘7 Piano Sketches'
André 3000 has released a collection of piano instrumental tracks entitled '7 Piano Sketches.' The musician released the project just before walking the carpet at the Met Gala with a full piano strapped to his back. '7 Piano Sketches' was partially composed and recorded before 2023's instrumental flute album 'New Blue Sun,' which went on to earn a nomination for album of the year at the 2025 Grammy Awards. André conceptualized the project almost a decade ago while staying with his son at a house in Texas that only had a piano, their beds and TV screens. Stream '7 Piano Sketches' here. More from Variety Grammys Surprise: André 3000 Says Album of the Year Nomination for Jazz Flute Project Is Proof 'I Can Only Do What I'm Into' Tyler, the Creator, Erykah Badu, André 3000 to Perform at Los Angeles' Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival 2024 Lil Wayne, Jill Scott and André 3000 to Perform at Roots Picnic 2024 in Philadelphia With the release, André made sure to note: 'WARNING: NO BARS.' In a statement accompanying the project, André said, 'The original title for it was 'The Best Worst Rap Album In History' and here is an excerpt from the original liner notes: 'It's jokingly the worst rap album in history because there are no lyrics on it at all. It's the best because it's the free-est emotionally and best I've felt personally. It's the best because it's like a palette cleanser for me.'' The release comes shortly after the news that Outkast, his duo alongside Big Boi, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Cyndi Lauper, White Stripes, Chubby Checker, Warren Zevon and more. André last released 'New Blue Sun' in Nov. 2023, a surprise to fans who were expecting another rap album from the musician. Speaking with Variety shortly after his Grammy nominations for the project, he explained that he followed his instincts to put the album together. 'I'm used to people feeling a way, but at the same time, it's just proof for me that I can only do what I'm into,' he said. 'I think that's why I'm here. I get up on trying to expand myself. I have to be fun and be into what I'm doing. That's it.'

'SNL': Musical guest Benson Boone shines with Quinta Brunson alongside Sabrina Carpenter's surprise cameo
Benson Boone made his Saturday Night Live debut on May 3, performing as musical guest during an episode hosted by Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson. The Grammy-nominated singer took the stage twice, first performing his single "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" after an athletic flip from a piano, briefly serenading Brunson as she introduced him. The moment added a light-hearted interaction between host and guest, with Brunson offering a knowing glance before returning offstage. Hosting SNL for the second time, Brunson opened the episode with a musical monologue celebrating the highs of being short. Backed by dancers, she sang about humorous perks like getting 'wasted on one glass of wine' and wearing crop tops as dresses. Midway through, Sabrina Carpenter appeared to join the fun, delivering playful lines about life in a smaller frame, such as wondering if "short rib" just tastes like "rib" and whether "short stories" are just novels. Together, they celebrated celebrities known for their stature and achievements, including Simone Biles, Tom Holland, and Kendrick Lamar. While Carpenter did not perform musically, both she and Boone were recently nominated for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, though Chappell Roan ultimately claimed the prize. Boone's SNL appearance follows his standout Coachella debut in April, where he performed Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" alongside Brian May. He is also set to release his second studio album, American Heart, on June 20.
