In an unexpected twist, Childish Gambino has made his triumphant return to the music scene after a three-year hiatus. The versatile artist, known for his roles as an actor and writer, has unveiled a double mixtape/EP named STN MTN / Kauai. This release delves into poignant themes including racism, gun violence, joy, spirituality, and the state of hip-hop and entertainment in the United States.
During his absence from music, Gambino remained busy by launching a successful television series, organizing the PHAROS festival in Joshua Tree, and even portraying the iconic Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Now, he’s poised to elevate his musical journey to new heights.
Making his return after three years, Gambino has joined forces with Latto for an exciting collaboration set to drop this Friday. The track, titled ‘Sticky,’ features the talented KIRBY and is inspired by Amazon Prime’s upcoming series Swarm, co-created by Glover and Atlanta writer Janine Nabers.
Experience a sneak peek of the song with the teaser below, while also catching a glimpse of the show’s preview.
Swarm is set to premiere on Friday (March 17) exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Delving into the narrative, this enthralling series traces the journey of a woman whose fascination grows for a pop star that exists only in fiction.
In an interview backstage at the 2023 Golden Globes, Glover revealed that he isn’t bidding farewell to his rap persona and hinted at the possibility of releasing new music under that guise in the future. He has also teased some tantalizing snippets of new music within Swarm – here’s a sneak peek!
