This America composer, Donald Glover, known by his stage name Childish Gambino has released a new single ahead of the official release of his new album.
The melody called In The Night features two female performers, English singer, Jorja Smith, and Ghanaian-American talent, Amaarae.
It was made public Tuesday, July 16, ahead of his sixth studio album Bando Stone & The New World, which will be ready on July 19. The project, described as his “most eclectic material,” is said to be the last to be released under his moniker Childish Gambino.
Glover had previously dropped the lead single Lithonia off the album early this month. The song blends a bit of punk and rock genres. In The Night is also rated as a dance track that incorporates some traits of dancehall.
Both Amaarae and Jorja Smith brought on their exceptional vocal prowess on the record, which is gradually gaining ground.
