It’s officially the season of Childish Gambino, so not much else matters to me now.
We’re 15 days from Gambino’s new album, …Awaken, My Love!, and he follows the acclaimed and wonderful and jazzy and explosive and perfect and album-opening “Me And Your Mama” with “Redbone.” The song was debuted on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show.
Gambino is singing in a high, pitch-changed voice over the entire song, which is a mix of tempered soul, R&B and funk.
