Childish Gambino's Counting Down To Something...And It's Arriving Tomorrow
Today, Childish Gambino has dropped a new track and, well, it's incredible.
Titled "Me And Your Mama," the track is reminiscent of Parliament Funkadelic, with funk, rock and soul blended together in a way that is indicative of another sonic transformation for Gambino.
But the best part of it all? Hearing the talented artist wail on the track, shifting between straightforward singing and psychedelic screams.
The song premiered today on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show.
If there is anything that Gambino has proven throughout this music, is that every release is different from the other, and judging by "Me And Your Mama" Gambino is keeping with that tradition in his forthcoming album, Awaken, My Love!
Along with the song's drop Gambino has also released the pre order for the album and its track list. Turns out Awaken, My Love! will be an 11 track release, although it's unknown if the album will feature any guest appearances. Yesterday (Wednesday) the album's cover art was released.
This has already been a promising year for Childish Gambino mastermind Donald Glover. Along with having a successful first season of Atlanta (seriously, shortly after its debut it was announced that a second season of the show had been picked up), Glover will be portraying a young Lando Calrissian in the untitled Han Solo Star Wars film slated for a 2018 release.
"I'm very honored. It's a very big deal. There's this thing going around the internet of me in a Star Wars t-shirt when I was in high school…That was the first toy I had — Lando. My dad gave it to me," Glover said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Glover also revealed that when he told his father about the role, his mom was in the back yelling at him not to mess the role up. "'Don't mess it up. Don't mess this up.' Because Billy Dee is like…That's hers."
Listen to the track below, and look out for Awaken, My Love! when it drops on December 2.
