Childish Gambino‘s third studio album, Awaken, My Love!, released on Dec. 2, sees Glover departing from rap and hip-hop in favor of more funk stylings. The project, like Glover’s Grammy-nominated 2013 album because the internet and his multimedia experiences Pharos earth festival and Pharos virtual reality, come from the creative collective Wolf + Rothstein, a partnership among Glover, Fam “Rothstein” Udeorji and Chad “The Wolf” Taylor.
“Donald manages himself, and it’s been that way for a while,” Rothstein said in a statement. “I’ve always thought about Childish Gambino as a character that can live on its own, and as a collective, the three of us have been able to cultivate and manage the trajectory of that character.”
