Donald Glover is a man of many talents. After years of culture shifting musical releases under the moniker Childish Gambino, he is ready to hang up his microphone.

In April, during a broadcast on his Gilga Radio show, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actor formerly announced his retirement plans. He’s already made good on remastering and reimagining his 3.15.20 album, now known as Atavista.

The second promise, Bando Stone And The New World, a movie, will usher in his final musical body of work via its soundtrack. Here’s everything you need to know about Bando Stone And The New World, including the tracklist and cover art.

Release Date

Bando Stone And The New World is out 7/19 via RCA Records. Find more information here.

Tracklist

Childish Gambino is holding Bando Stone And The New World‘s tracklist close to his chest. Based on his level of secrecy, that won’t be revealed until its release.

Features

Over on X (formerly Twitter), NFR Podcast alleged that the project will feature guest appearances from Uproxx cover star Chlöe, Yeat, Jorja Smith, Amaarae, Flo Milli, Kamasi Washington, and Gambino’s son.

Artwork

Although Childish Gambino hasn’t confirmed the artwork, the promotional kiosk for his pop-up show featured the imagery below.

Singles

With the official tracklist still up in the air, you can’t technically confirm the soundtrack’s singles. However, Childish Gambino has released two tracks, “In The Night” featuring Jorja Smith and Amaarae and “Lithonia,” both of which fans hope to appear on the project.

Tour

A record label, footing the bill to finance a live tour to support a film’s official soundtrack, isn’t the norm. However, nothing about Childish Gambino is ordinary. So, if you wanted to catch him in a city near you, The New World Tour, is your chance. As an added treat, the tour’s supporting acts are the incredibly talented Willow and Amaarae.
