“When you receive a text from a wind-up friend, something beautiful usually happens,” Andre 3000 shared in a statement. “The day Kamasi invited me to attend a Fearless Movement session, I was obsessed and extremely honoured. Now, every time we get together something interesting happens. We first played during a recording session for New Blue Sun and it has been fruitful ever since.
“Dream State is a celebration of life and the opportunity it gives us to explore new possibilities,” Washington added. “We created this song together on the spot as we improvised the music we made in that moment. It was such an honor to work on this song with one of my heroes, the great Andre 3000. And what an amazing experience, Andre 3000, Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, Mono /Polly and I move freely through this world of sound that we do not know. Where we will end, but we are happy with the journey itself.”
Fearless movement It is scheduled to be released on May 3 via Young. It was led by the closing track “Introduction”.
