Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino kept his promise following a tweet on Sunday, where he promised new music in a stream on Instagram Live. The 40 year old shared with fans that his highly anticipated project will be two albums not just one.
“We’re releasing Atavista, but after that, there’s the final Childish Gambino album, a soundtrack for the fans.”
He later announced the final Gambino record would be titled Bando Stone & The New World, which will double as the soundtrack for his upcoming film by the same name. A radio-style ad for the project indicated that the soundtrack is coming this summer via RCA.
Before the ‘Atlanta’ star hosted the GILGA Radio stream on IG, a fan took to X/Twitter to ask if he’d be debuting new music.

Earlier this year, Glover teased that he would be releasing a new version of his 2020 project 3.15.20, now titled Atavista. He also previewed new music during the stream, a previously leaked song titled “Human Sacrifice” and a few updated tracks from 3.15.20. A completed version of the song “Little Foot Big Foot” (formerly known as “35.31”) featuring Atlanta rapper Young Nudy was also played and will soon get a music video.
“My fans are great and have been so patient and are starving—this album is for you guys.”
