Childish Gambino has released his highly anticipated sixth studio album, Bando Stone and The New World, via RCA Records. The 17-track LP showcases Gambino’s versatility and creative evolution, blending various genres and styles.
The album opens with “Hearts Are Meant To Fly,” a roaring electro-hip-hop cut co-penned with Ammaarae. This glitchy and twisty track sets the tone before transitioning into the moody psych-funk single “Lithonia,” written by Gambino himself. “Lithonia” evolves into a full-on operatic rock anthem, demonstrating Gambino’s range.
The summer-ready “Survive” features Gambino’s melodic vocals, flowing seamlessly into the ethereal “Steps Beach,” a guitar-laden track featuring Grammy-winning artists Steve Lacy and Fousheé. The duo returns on the alt-punk pop track “Running Around,” showcasing their collaborative synergy.
Gambino’s lyrical prowess shines in “Talk My Shit,” featuring Flo Milli, where his sharp bars and dynamic delivery take center stage. The album’s diversity continues with “Dadvocate,” highlighting Gambino’s reverence for blues, folk, and country.
Tracks like “Got To Be” and “Real Love” blend electro-pop, dance, and rap, while “Yoshinoya” boasts bold, unrelenting bars. The collaboration with Yeat on “Cruisin’” adds another layer of innovation, wrapping up with the Max Martin-produced anthem “A Place Where Love Goes,” which melds the album’s sonic diversity into a cohesive finale.
Bando Stone and The New World is abundant in sounds, exhibiting the plurality of Childish Gambino’s artistry. This latest project reaffirms his status as a boundary-pushing artist, offering fans a multifaceted musical experience.
