Childish Gambino, the stage persona of the multi-talented Donald Glover, is making waves again in the music world. This Monday marked the release of "Atavista," a re-envisioned take on his enigmatic 2020 album, "3.15.20." The original release was a blend of abstract musical forms that floated largely under the radar due to its unconventional drop and limited streaming availability. "Atavista" not only reintroduces these tracks with fresh production and titling but also enhances them with powerful collaborations and two brand new songs.
The highlight of the album is undoubtedly its collaborations, including "Time" featuring Ariana Grande and "Psilocybae" with 21 Savage, Ink, and Kadhja Bonet. These tracks, particularly "Psilocybae"—a rebrand of the previously named "12.38"—demonstrate Gambino's knack for blending his visionary sound with the unique styles of his collaborators, creating music that is both innovative and soulful.
Adding to the musical feast are the newly introduced songs, "Atavista" and "Human Sacrifice," which promise to bring a fresh flavor to Gambino's already eclectic style. The album release was paired with a music video for "Little Foot Big Foot," directed by Hiro Murai, which features Young Nudy. This visual component is just a teaser of the comprehensive aesthetic experience Gambino is crafting, as he mentioned a special vinyl release in the works that will include visuals for each track.
Furthermore, Gambino is not just stopping at revamping his musical offerings. He has also unveiled an extensive lineup of tour dates for his "New World" tour, which promises to be a global spectacle. Starting in Oklahoma City on August 11, the tour will snake its way through North America, including stops in major cities like Detroit, Toronto, and Los Angeles, before concluding in Chicago on October 3. The international leg of the tour kicks off in France on October 31, with the final curtain falling in Australia on February 11, 2025. Gambino will be joined by Willow in North America and Amaarae in Europe and the UK, adding even more diversity to the performances.
Tickets for the "New World" tour are set to go on sale soon, offering fans not just a chance to hear his new tracks live but also to be part of the closing chapter of the Childish Gambino era. As Gambino himself has hinted, following "Atavista," there will be one final album under this moniker—a farewell that promises to be a soundtrack for his fans.
As we anticipate this final act, "Atavista" serves as a compelling reminder of Gambino's ability to evolve artistically. It’s not merely a reissue but a complete reimagining that reinvigorates his previous works with new life and perspective. For fans and new listeners alike, this album is an invitation to witness the continuous transformation of one of the most dynamic artists of our time.
