This afternoon Childish Gambino debuted his new song "Redbone" on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. After "Me and Your Mama," it's the song he has released from his forthcoming album Awaken, My Love!
One attendee of Gambino's 'Pharos' listening event in September noted the album's "minimal rapping." Between "Redbone" and "Me and Your Mama," Gambino is clearly taking his cues from the '70s and has yet to deliver one (rap) bar. "Redbone" sounds like a Barry White song as much as anything else.
Awaken, My Love! is out December 2. Here is everything we know about it so far.
Quotable Lyrics
Too late
You wanna make it right, but now it's too late
My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid
I'm trying not to waste my time
