“Beyond explorative, Childish Gambino's stark warning of modernity is everything, and more”
Bando Stone and The New World
“a bittersweet send-off to a musical innovator”
"Awaken, My Love!"
“On Donald Glover’s latest project as Childish Gambino, he ditches rap for lovingly produced funk worship, resulting in his most enjoyable project yet.”
"Awaken, My Love!"
“Our take on Donald Glover's expansive third album”
Because the Internet
“On his second album, actor-turned-rapper Childish Gambino wields his nerdiness with newfound confidence, spitting meditations on Internet culture with fluency and ease. The Community star (a.k.a. Donald Glover) drops winking bars like "Never gonna reach a million/Eventually, all my followers realize they don't need a leader," while the click-worthy upstarts Chance the Rapper, Kilo Kish and Jhené A”
Bando Stone and The New World
“Donald Glover is undeniably one of the most talented — or at the very least ambitious — artists of his era. The multi-hyphenate has made a name for himself in every medium he's pursued, whether TV, movies or music, garnering acclaim in every field. As much as Glover has done, his output as Childish Gambino is likely the most definitive work of his career, rivalled only by his FX series Atlanta. Wi”
Bando Stone and The New World
“LISTENED: 4/26/2026 Honestly, this album seems really underappreciated and unknown, but that might be because this guy won’t drop the damn movie that comes with the album. Besides that, I love the sounds Gambino does on here, solid finale to his name.”
Because the Internet
“LISTENED: 4/4/2026 This album sounds like nothing i’ve ever heard before, and I can’t really compare it to another sound. What genre is this? I can say they’re may be a song or two that won’t hit, but there is NEVER a boring sound. This is great.”
"Awaken, My Love!"
“in my opinion, this is gambino’s best work. this album is an electrifying masterpiece and this album just shows how imaginative donald can get. this album is filled with raw emotion and immersive production. kudos to u donald . ”

“LISTENED: 04/26/2026 My god, what a mixed bag. This album has some nice messages and some amazing melodies, but there are a LOT of really basic songs that nearly killed me along with this album cover while listening.”
Camp
“Lyrics like “cause I ain’t Mumford, I ain’t tryna have sons” put over the hardest beat and most beautiful melody known to man But I will be sobbing and clutching my chest to the end of That Power”
Kauai
“LISTENED: 4/24/2026 Very, very minimal things to grab onto for interest, but it’s a cool little side project with a warm-love vibe to it. I also like the Jaden Smith portions.”
"Awaken, My Love!"
“LISTENED: 4/25/2026 This album is nuts with its funk influence, and HOW can Childish Gambino hit those notes? Few tracks that drag on way too long for the sake of instrumental, but this album is both inspired and inspiring.”
Camp
“LISTENED: 03/30/2026 Showing heavy rap skill, and the production is ok. As a project, not something i’m blown away by, but it has a nice messages and a good closing track.”
