Donald Glover Officially Released His New Childish Gambino Album
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Broadway has gone dark, movie releases are delayed, concert tours have been cancelled, and even late night TV shows have gone on hiatus. If there's anything a lot of people could use right now, it's art and entertainment that's new but that can be consumed safely within our own homes. Enter Donald Glover.
The Atlanta star surprised everyone by releasing a full album of new music, 3.15.20, last week. At the time, it was only available on the Donald Glover Presents website, where the songs streamed on a loop. But now, the album is officially available for streaming and purchase.
Artists featured on the new collection include Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and SZA. But
3.15.20 also has some familiar tunes, like "Feels Like Summer," Glover's 2018 single that featured an incredible music video chock full of animated hip-hop cameos, and "Algorythm," which, fittingly, has been used in ads for Google Pixel.
Glover has released music steadily over the last few years; "This Is America" debuted at number one in 2018, and last year he released the film Guava Island, which was full of original tracks. But this is his first album-length release since 2016's Awaken My Love—and it could be his last.He's long promised to retire his Childish Gambino alter ego, and has said that this would be his final album.
"There’s nothing worse than like a third sequel, like a third movie and we’re like, ‘again?’" he told HuffPost in 2016 about his decision to end his music career. "You know, I like it when something’s good and when it comes back there’s a reason to come back, there’s a reason to do that." New Childish Gambino tunes could become a lot harder to come by, so enjoy this batch while you can.
