Listen: Childish Gambino’s Last Album ‘Bando & The New World’ Is Finally Here
"Nobody gives a fuck" - Childish Gambino.
Music
July 19, 2024

In Donald we trust.

The 17-track album kicks off with ‘H3@RT$ W3RE M3@NT T0 F7¥’, a collaboration with Amaarae that’s a wild, glitchy electro-hip-hop opener. It moves into the moody, psych-funk vibes of ‘Lithonia’, which Gambino has turned into an operatic rock anthem. Tracks like “Survive” bring a breezy, summertime feel, while ‘Steps Beach’ features Steve Lacy and Fousheé and takes listeners on an ethereal, guitar-laden journey.

The album shows off Gambino’s versatility, diving into blues, folk, and country on ‘Dadvocat’, and blending electro-pop, dance, and rap on tracks like ‘Got To Be’ and ‘Real Love’. Collaborations with artists like Yeat on ‘Cruisin” and Max Martin on “A Place Where Love Goes” keep the vibe fresh and exciting.

In addition to the album, Gambino announced his New World Tour hitting Australia and New Zealand in February 2025—his first trip down under since 2019. Amaarae will be joining him as direct support for the tour. Tickets here.
