Childish Gambino


Donald Glover’s fourth studio album under
the stage name Childish Gambino is a
decidedly mercurial one, playing with dark
hues and disjointed sound effects. It’s a
project that forces listeners to seek freedom
in chaos, at a time when this value seems
especially pertinent for the world.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Donald McKinley Glover Jr. was born
    at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on
    September 25, 1983.

  2. He was subsequently raised in Stone
    Mountain, Georgia, with his mother being
    a retired daycare provider, and his father a
    postal worker.

  3. The new album was initially uploaded to
    the website donaldgloverpresents.com on
    March 15, 2020, only to be taken down 12
    hours later.

  4. It was eventually released to streaming
    services under its present title on March 22.

  5. 3.15.20 has met with widespread acclaim,
    Consequence of Sound’s Okla Jones stating
    that “Glover’s willingness to experiment with
    different sounds and harmonies is evidence
    that things either foreign or unknown need
    not be feared, but embraced.”
