Four years ago in 2020, the website donaldgloverpresents.com began circulating online, containing a continuous loop of different songs, some previously performed and others completely new. Not long later Childish Gambino’s final album was released as 3.15.20. At the time many agreed that the album seemed unfinished; there was no album rollout, the cover was blank white, and the song names are simply their timestamps in the album’s overall runtime.
But now, just over four years later, Childish Gambino has released the completed version of 3.15.20, and has also announced The New World Tour to accompany it. The completed album is called Atavista (listen HERE) and has been released containing two new tracks, along with song titles, a new album cover, and a music video for “Little Foot Big Foot” (watch HERE), directed by music video great and long-time collaborator of Gambino, Hiro Murai).
It has been a while for fans of Gambino’s music, after all he’s also considered one of the best actors and writers currently working in film and television. Since the original release of 3.15.20, Gambino, under his real name Donald Glover, has worked on and released season 3 and season 4 of his critically acclaimed Atlanta tv show, and also written and starred in Netflix’s Mr and Mrs Smith, a loose remake of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 2005 film of the same name.
The point being, Donald Glover never stops working. Not only is it a world tour, but a huge one at that. Spanning across 58 dates, and 55 world cities, the tour will move across the United States, then Europe, then onto New Zealand before finally finishing off with Australia. Along the way special guests Willow and Amaarae will make appearances, with Willow covering the American leg of the tour, Amaarae covering the remainder.
