The post Donald Glover Confirms He’ll Be Back With New Music as Childish Gambino appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>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.

]]>Last week, Glover distracted fans from quarantine by releasing a surprise album in the morning, which was available for streaming on his website before being removed just 12 hours later.
On Sunday he officially released the album onto streaming services with a title from last Sunday’s date, 3.15.20.
Not much information followed the release, which is under the names Donald Glover and his alter-ego Childish Gambino. The album’s sequence is the same as it appeared on his website last week, but it starts with what was assumed to be track 6.
As mentioned in a previous article, the album features Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and Khadja Bonet.
Only two songs have titles, most of the tracks are the times of their point in the sequence like a YouTube video. There’s also no official artwork on the albums, but a press photo shows Glover in a domestic scene with his two sons who are wearing Spiderman masks.

]]>The site provides no information about the album. It featured a drawing of a city riot with some of the people shown excited about their surroundings while others seem distressed. The picture is enigmatically divided into 4 squares and the title reads simply: “Donald Glover presents”.
The album contains 12 songs including some previously released like Feels Like Summer, Algorythm, and Warlord — songs he performed at Coachella in 2019. The album also features guest appearances by Ariana Grande, SZA, 21 Savage, and his son.
The last album Glover has released under the Gambino alter ego was back in 2016 and he has stated since that he means to get rid of Gambino after his next tour and album. Since no album has been released since then it is still unclear whether this is a Gambino album or strictly a Glover one.
Here’s the presumed list of the album’s tracklist:

]]>Our three headliners this year are Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino,
Psyc-rock band Tame Impala announced their headlining slot on Twitter and promised fans: “New year. New shows. New sounds”. Childish Gambino’s music video for “This is America” was the most talked about track of 2018 and Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” music video broke all time records on YouTube. In other words, the headlining slots at Coachella this year are in safe hands.
Other exciting names on the list include The 1975s, Anderson Paak, Solange, Kid Cudi, Aphex Twin and Weezer, to name a few. The weekend will be packed full of amazing acts from the emerging to the classic, demonstrating that 2019 will be another fantastic year for music.

]]>The post Childish Gambino Has Been Forced to Postpone His Tour appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The singer — whose real identity is actor Donald Glover — has been forced to postpone his current This is America tour.
Whilst performing in Dallas on Sunday, the 35-year-old managed to injure his foot!
The means that the Atlanta star has had to cancel all performances until the 2nd of December when he will resume his tour in Nashville, Tennessee.
This is America tour is postponed, not cancelled. My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the years over.
— Fam Rothstein (@famlikefamily) September 26, 2018
The tour will be the last featuring “Childish Gambino” as Donald announced last year that he will be retiring the stage name.
Donald’s hame has often gotten him confused as the son of Lethal Weapon actor, Danny Glover, with even legendary actor, Robert Redford, making the mistake.
Whilst filming The Old Man & the Gun with Danny, Robert congratulated him on his “son’s” recent successes.
Feel better, Donald!

]]>The post Childish Gambino’s Video for “Feels Like Summer” is Full of Cameos appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The animated music video has Gambino walking down the street and encountering various characters that resemble today’s biggest music stars. For example, we see Migos playing basketball, Birdman cooking burgers, and Will Smith washing his car. While these rappers received harmless cameos, Childish Gambino decided to be a bit harsher to others.
He poked fun at the feud between Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott by portraying them as two kids who play together on the front lawn and then decide to get mad at each other.
Animated versions of various other characters make an appearance in the video including Snoop Dogg, Jaden Smith, Drake, Future, Wiz Khalifa, Dr. Dre, Diddy, Will Smith, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé.
According to several interpretations, the video for “Feels Like Summer” symbolizes Childish Gambino leaving the hip-hop community. This makes a lot of sense since Gambino announced his retirement from music in 2019.
But let’s wait and see. In the meantime, you can check out the song below.

]]>The annual event had no host for the duration of the three-hour program, but it still gave us a lot to talk about. Cardi B opened the ceremony and tried to trick the audience into thinking she brought her baby Kulture on stage. Jennifer Lopez gave a powerhouse performance after receiving the honorary Video Vanguard Award.
Several other artists performed during the ceremony, with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande making the biggest impression. Tiffany Haddish tried to make this year’s VMAs more humorous and stirred controversy after throwing shade at Camila Cabello’s former band Fifth Harmony. Imagine all the drama we would witness if the show actually had a host. Guess we’ll have to wait until the next year…

]]>Our three headliners this year are Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino,
Psyc-rock band Tame Impala announced their headlining slot on Twitter and promised fans: “New year. New shows. New sounds”. Childish Gambino’s music video for “This is America” was the most talked about track of 2018 and Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” music video broke all time records on YouTube. In other words, the headlining slots at Coachella this year are in safe hands.
Other exciting names on the list include The 1975s, Anderson Paak, Solange, Kid Cudi, Aphex Twin and Weezer, to name a few. The weekend will be packed full of amazing acts from the emerging to the classic, demonstrating that 2019 will be another fantastic year for music.
You can view the full lineup here:

]]>The post Childish Gambino Has Been Forced to Postpone His Tour appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The singer — whose real identity is actor Donald Glover — has been forced to postpone his current This is America tour.
Whilst performing in Dallas on Sunday, the 35-year-old managed to injure his foot!
The means that the Atlanta star has had to cancel all performances until the 2nd of December when he will resume his tour in Nashville, Tennessee.
This is America tour is postponed, not cancelled. My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the years over.
— Fam Rothstein (@famlikefamily) September 26, 2018
The tour will be the last featuring “Childish Gambino” as Donald announced last year that he will be retiring the stage name.
Donald’s hame has often gotten him confused as the son of Lethal Weapon actor, Danny Glover, with even legendary actor, Robert Redford, making the mistake.
Whilst filming The Old Man & the Gun with Danny, Robert congratulated him on his “son’s” recent successes.
Feel better, Donald!

]]>The post Childish Gambino’s Video for “Feels Like Summer” is Full of Cameos appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The animated music video has Gambino walking down the street and encountering various characters that resemble today’s biggest music stars. For example, we see Migos playing basketball, Birdman cooking burgers, and Will Smith washing his car. While these rappers received harmless cameos, Childish Gambino decided to be a bit harsher to others.
He poked fun at the feud between Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott by portraying them as two kids who play together on the front lawn and then decide to get mad at each other.
Animated versions of various other characters make an appearance in the video including Snoop Dogg, Jaden Smith, Drake, Future, Wiz Khalifa, Dr. Dre, Diddy, Will Smith, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé.
According to several interpretations, the video for “Feels Like Summer” symbolizes Childish Gambino leaving the hip-hop community. This makes a lot of sense since Gambino announced his retirement from music in 2019.
But let’s wait and see. In the meantime, you can check out the song below.

]]>The post Camila Cabello Wins Big at 2018 MTV VMAs appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The annual event had no host for the duration of the three-hour program, but it still gave us a lot to talk about. Cardi B opened the ceremony and tried to trick the audience into thinking she brought her baby Kulture on stage. Jennifer Lopez gave a powerhouse performance after receiving the honorary Video Vanguard Award.
Several other artists performed during the ceremony, with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande making the biggest impression. Tiffany Haddish tried to make this year’s VMAs more humorous and stirred controversy after throwing shade at Camila Cabello’s former band Fifth Harmony. Imagine all the drama we would witness if the show actually had a host. Guess we’ll have to wait until the next year…
