Everyone Featured In Childish Gambino’s ‘Bando Stone And The New World’ Album
Childish Gambino issued his final album under the millennial moniker on Friday (July 19) and brought some talented guests on stage to close the show. With artists including Flo Milli, Chlöe, Jorja Smith, and Yeat, the 40-year-old managed to deliver 17 tracks on Bando Stone and The New World. The album is also set to be the soundtrack for his upcoming film of the same name.
“Success to me is, honestly, being able to put out a wide-scale album that I would listen to,” detailed Gambino to the New York Times. “For this album, I really wanted to be able to play big rooms and have big, anthemic songs that fill those rooms, so that people feel a sense of togetherness.”
While fans can mourn or celebrate the next chapter, they can savor Donald Glover‘s Childish Gambino era with his expansive musical library, cemented with this final work. The multi-hyphenate talent is also set to hit the road this summer on The New World Tour produced by AEG Presents, with WILLOW joining for North America, and Amaarae on the international dates.
