The internet age has brought to fruition many album release plans that may seem strange (Jay Z, U2, we're looking at you), but Ryan Leslie's next release may be the weirdest of them all. Ostensibly, his upcoming album MZRT is inspired by Mozart, and in keeping with the composer's legacy, will be "released and performed in its entirety at a palace in Vienna, Austria [Mozart's hometown] on NYE 2015."

Meshing with that audacious plan is the video Leslie just released for "New New," a track that will appear on the album. The video opens with audio from Mozart's "Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major," because of course it does.
