All You Need to Know About the ‘Final’ Childish Gambino Album

Donald Glover is a man of many talents. After years of culture-shifting musical releases under the moniker Childish Gambino, he is ready to hang up his microphone.

In April, during a broadcast on his Gilga Radio show, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actor formally announced his retirement plans. He’s already made good on remastering and reimagining his 3.15.20 album, now known as Atavista.

The second promise, Bando Stone And The New World, a movie, will usher in his final musical body of work via its soundtrack. Here’s everything you need to know about Bando Stone And The New World, including the tracklist and cover art.

Bando Stone And The New World is slated for release on July 19 via RCA Records.

Childish Gambino is keeping the tracklist for Bando Stone And The New World close to his chest. Given his level of secrecy, it’s unlikely to be revealed until the official release.

Over on X (formerly Twitter), NFR Podcast alleged that the project will feature guest appearances from Chlöe, Yeat, Jorja Smith, Amaarae, Flo Milli, Kamasi Washington, and even Gambino’s son.

Although Childish Gambino hasn’t confirmed the artwork, the promotional kiosk for his pop-up show featured the imagery below.

With the official tracklist still under wraps, it’s challenging to confirm the soundtrack’s singles. However, Childish Gambino has released two tracks: “In The Night” featuring Jorja Smith and Amaarae, and “Lithonia,” both of which fans hope will appear on the project.

A record label financing a live tour to support a film’s official soundtrack isn’t typical. However, nothing about Childish Gambino is ordinary. If you want to catch him live, The New World Tour is your chance. As an added treat, the tour’s supporting acts include Willow and Amaarae.
