Donald Glover – aka Childish Gambino – has released his ‘Atavista’ album – listen to it below.
Today (May 13), the rapper, actor and comedian took to social media to announce the release of the album, which is the “complete” version of his 2020 record, ‘3.15.20’. The album, now available on streaming, sees the musician rework tracks from the 2020 record, as well as the addition of a new song, ‘Little Foot Big Foot’.
The new song, featuring Young Nudy, also comes with a black-and-white music video directed by his longtime collaborator Hiro Murai and stars Quinta Brunson, Monyett Crump, Rob Bynes, and others.

The album comes after Glover revealed earlier this year that he would be dropping two records this year before retiring the Childish Gambino moniker: ‘Atavista’ and ‘Bando Stone & The New World’. ‘Bando Stone & The New World’ will double as the soundtrack for his upcoming movie of the same name, which is set to be released this summer.
Now, Glover has shared an update on ‘Bando Stone & The New World’, writing on social media: “the all new childish gambino album comes out in the summer”. He also teased a special vinyl release for ‘Atavista’, which will include “visuals for each song”.

‘3.15.20’ was awarded four-stars by NME when it was initially released in 2020: “Glover’s willingness to share such a candid moment on record is particularly interesting given his past proclivity towards keeping his private life largely offline, and may be a sign that the star is beginning to let his guard down as the outside world continues to try to peer in.
“It’s an approach that Glover is applying to his musical output at least, with the impressive ‘3.15.20’ well worth the wait — we’ll keep our fingers firmly crossed, then, that he doesn’t give in to his past evasiveness and take the record down again…”
Childish Gambino also recently teased an upcoming world tour, though little is known so far.
