Listen to two new heart-breaking André 3000 songs

Three-stacks can play (or do) just about anything, including your heartstrings. In "Me&My (to bury your parents)", the plucking is done with a sober piano ballad. The title leaves no room for loose interpretations. His lyrics about missing his mother and father are both straightforward and unflinching. ("I was much happier when he was around.") The other track, my personal favourite of the two, is called "Look Ma No Hands". It's an instrumental jazz collaboration with James Blake. 3k plays the bass clarinet, magnificently. It's 17 minutes long and not a single second of it is less than magical. Must-listen.
