Childish Gambino Reemerges with Reimagined Album and “The New World Tour”
In an unexpected move that has the music world buzzing, Donald Glover’s acclaimed alter ego, Childish Gambino, has resurfaced with a reimagined version of his 2020 album and an extensive world tour. Glover, the multi-talented artist, actor, and visionary, has once again proven his ability to captivate audiences with his boundary-pushing artistry.
Early Monday, Glover took to social media to announce that “ATAVISTA” had arrived on streaming platforms, revealing that this new release is “the finished version” of the enigmatic “3.15.20” album that initially dropped on Donald Glover Presents back in 2020. The original album, which featured guest appearances from industry heavyweights like Ariana Grande and 21 Savage, was swiftly removed from streaming services, leaving fans yearning for more.
Now, with “ATAVISTA,” Glover has not only resurrected the project but has also elevated it to new heights. The full-length album includes two brand new tracks, “Atavista” and “Human Sacrifice,” showcasing Glover’s ever-evolving artistic vision. Additionally, the album boasts fresh collaborations with Young Nudy and the captivating Summer Walker, promising a sonic experience that defies genres and transcends boundaries.
As if the album news wasn’t enough to send shockwaves through the industry, Glover simultaneously announced “The New World Tour,” a global trek that will take Childish Gambino’s electrifying live performances to audiences across North America, Europe, and Australia throughout 2024 and 2025. Canadian fans can brace themselves for unforgettable nights as the tour makes stops in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton.
Pre-sales for the highly anticipated tour commence as early as Wednesday, May 15, at 10:00 AM local time, with general on-sale following on Friday, May 17, at 10:00 AM local time. Tickets are expected to be in high demand, as Glover had previously declared his 2018 tour would be “the last Childish Gambino tour ever.”
However, Glover has been teasing Childish Gambino’s return for weeks, leaving fans eagerly speculating about what he had in store. His surprise appearance at Coachella as a guest during Tyler, the Creator’s headlining set only fueled the anticipation further.
During an Instagram livestream following his Coachella cameo, Glover revealed that he would release two final Childish Gambino albums, with “ATAVISTA” being the first and a second album serving as the soundtrack for his upcoming film, “Bando Stone and the New World.”
As if the album drop and tour announcement weren’t enough to satiate fans’ appetites, Glover also released a mesmerizing music video for “Little Foot Big Foot” featuring Young Nudy. The black-and-white visual, directed by Glover himself, transports viewers to a jazz-age setting, with Glover embodying a captivating entertainer and Quinta Brunson portraying the venue owner.
With “ATAVISTA” and “The New World Tour,” Childish Gambino has once again proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. Glover’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, push creative boundaries, and leave audiences spellbound is a testament to his unparalleled artistry. As fans eagerly await the second album and the “Bando Stone and the New World” film, one thing is certain: Donald Glover’s creative prowess knows no bounds, and the world is his canvas.
