Childish Gambino Shares ‘Atavista’ Album, “Little Foot Big Foot” Video, And World Tour Dates
Donald Glover announces the new Childish Gambino era in a major way. On Sunday (May 12) the musician shared an updated album, new music video, global tour dates, and promised additional music and visuals are still in the works.
“ATAVISTA is streaming now. this album is the finished version of 3.15.20, the album i put out 4 years ago. there’s a special vinyl coming soon w/ visuals for each song,” explained the 40-year-old on X.
“the all new childish gambino album comes out in the summer.”
The post included the link for the “Little Foot Big Foot” music video. The song features a rap verse from Young Nudy. In the black and white music video, Childish Gambino shows off his dance skills, cutting a rug at what appears to be a juke joint.
Actress Quinta Brunson makes a cameo in the video, directed by Glover’s frequent collaborator, Hiro Murai. The track was formerly titled “35.21” on the 3.15.20 album
ATAVISTA in full features 21 Savage, Ariana Grande, Kadhja Bonet, Ink, and Summer Walker in addition to the aforementioned Young Nudy collaboration.
“The project I put out, 3.15.20 that no one’s ever heard of, people didn’t even know I put it out, it was originally titled Atavista, it was supposed to be Atavista,” explained the Grammy Award-winning artist per Variety.
“But we put it out quickly, I didn’t master or mix it, I just kind of put it out. I was going through a lot, ni**as thought everybody was going to die because it was the pandemic. We put it out, we finished it, it’s Atavista, we’re putting that out. But then after that, there’s a Childish Gambino album, the final Childish Gambino album,” he continued hinting at a retirement from music.
Childish Gambino also dropped The New World Tour dates with support from Willow Smith and Amaarae. Kicking off this summer in Oklahoma City, Ok., the journey takes the Mr. And Mrs. Smith star to Columbus, Oh., Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, Paris, and more before wrapping in Australia next February.
