André 3000 – Something Is Happening And I May Not Fully Understand… (Official Audio)
TRAИƧA:Selects, a vinyl sampler featuring milestones of TRAИƧA. These singles from the 46-track prismatic spiritual journey of Red Hot Org’s TRANSA glimpse the project’s full epic sonic palette and time travel. An essential line-in to a restored universe, Transa:Selects gives gender-expansive waymakers their pasts and futures.
André 3000 uses Side 2 of Transa:Selects to process along with the listener with “Something Is Happening And I May Not Fully Understand But I’m Happy To Stand For The Understanding” stares into the artist’s new era of composing without bars. Reflective modes encourage the listener to dwell in uncertainty just as the artist has chosen to wander.
