“Awaken, My Love(s)”… Gambino is Here!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

Childish Gambino is picking up some speed and you’re bound to be consumed by his new music. Already making a name and a platform for himself, Gambino is back with fresh, new vibes and music. 

As a tease for his forthcoming album, “Awaken, My Love!”, Gambino recently released his second single “Redbone” and if it is any predictor for how the album is going to be, than all of his fans will be very satisfied! His new album is rooted in rock, soul, rap and R&B — just a winning combination of influences that you just can’t deny. With the previous release of the single “Me And Your Mama” and the most recent release of “Redbone,” Gambino’s next album has very high expectations that will certainly be reached. You can’t go wrong with Childish Gambino, as proved by influential outlets complementing Gambino’s “Me And Your Mama” thus far:

USA Today – “…six-plus minutes of psychedelic soul.”

XXL – “The song has a rock/soul feel, filled with synths and strings, while Gambino wails across the song.”

MTV – “The song begins as a dreamy lullaby, then crashes down into rambling funk-rock as Glover aggressively strains his voice. An extended instrumental section at the end supplies the comedown and infuses more soul into the mix, capping off one hell of an adventurous ride.”
