Childish Gambino’s final act is getting closer

A return, but also a farewell. It’s curious that within a handful of songs there can be the alpha, but also the omega. “Lithonia”, the new single from the multifaceted artist Childish Gambino, previews the new album of unreleased songs “Bando Stone & The News World” out on July 19th. The project will be the last to bear the stage name Childish Gambino. A decision that leaves fans in suspense, ready to understand what will be the artist’s last magic trick. Gambino meanwhile opened the Lifetime Achievement Tribute for Usher with a performance of “U Don’t Have To Call” and this summer he is on tour with “The New World Tour” which in the following months will also pass through Italy on a single date, November 2, 2024 at the Unipol Forum in Milan. Childish Gambino, stage name of Donald Glover, is an American actor, singer, rapper, comedian, screenwriter, record producer, director and DJ. A creative mind tout court. An artist with many faces, Glover is known for his television career which has always gone hand in hand with his musical career.where he is better known by the name of Childish Gambino, under which pseudonym he has released four studio albums: “Camp” (2011), “Because the Internet” (2013) “Awaken, My Love!” (2016) and “3.15.20” (2020).

Here is a profile that analyzes all his transformations. After several television successes, in 2018 he reached the peak of his musical fame with the song “This Is America,” which, with its four Grammy Awards, became the first rap song in Grammy history to win both Song of the Year and Album of the Year.. The text addresses some open wounds for America, such as that of violence caused by firearms and racism towards African-American culture. The video, directed by Japanese director Hiro Murai, is a masterpiece of visions and metaphors in which Gambino alternates dances of ancient African tradition with sudden and ruthless shootings.

His latest album “3.15.20”, released four years ago, is yet another sonic and authorial mutation of Glover: a project that seems to be generated by the chaos of the times we live in and in which the artist faces the insecurity and fear of the unknown, identities violated by the digital dimension and other racisms. It is another star born by Donald Glover. While at college, Donald and his classmates, to break the boredom, find an internet application that randomly generates Wu-Tang-style rapper names.. Donald Glover’s is Childish Gambino. In an infinite archive of absurd names, the young man glimpses a fragment of his own destiny. “Bando Stone & The News World” will be the last chapter of this story and we’ll see where it takes us.
