It’s been a while since Donald Glover released new music under his famous moniker Childish Gambino, but it seems he’s finally gearing up for a comeback. Glover discussed his plans for the future in a recent interview and said that Childish Gambino will be back.

Glover attended this year’s Golden Globes after receiving another nomination for the last season of his show Atlanta, and Laverne Cox stopped him for a brief interview. She asked him if he was going to surprise us with some new music in the nearby future and Glover teased his comeback as Childish Gambino.

“I’m making music right now. I love it. I’m in the studio, I’ve been bringing people in, secret people, and working on things… I’m just making it for fun right now. But soon, something will happen I promise. Something will happen,” said Glover.

Cox addressed his previous statement that he’ll retire the Childish Gambino stage name, but Glover reassured her that he’ll be back with some new music. He’s mostly been focusing on Atlanta in recent years and hasn’t released a new album since his experimental record 3.15.20 from 2020, which featured guest appearances from Ariana Grande, Kadhja Bonet, and 21 Savage.
