Your support makes all the difference.Donald Glover has surprised the world with what seems to be a livestream of a new album.
The multi-talented singer-actor-writer is yet to comment on the release, but a link to the website has surfaced online and has reportedly been retweeted by his management team.
While his moniker, Childish Gambino, is not mentioned anywhere, the stream – comprised of 12 songs – includes Gambino track “Feels Like Summer”.
Other songs included are collaborations with Ariana Grande, SZA and 21 Savage as well as music fans recognise from his live shows in 2019.
The link was tweeted with: “Donald Glover Presents” – it is not known if this is the album title. The artwork, though, has been released and it depicts a world on fire.
Last September, Glover announced he was retiring live performances as Childish Gambino.
It was revealed yesterday (14 March) that production on the third and fourth season of his FX series Atlanta had shut down in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
