Donald Glover has announced he will release two more albums as Childish Gambino before retiring his music alter-ego for good.
Donald Glover is to retire his music alter-ego Childish Gambino.
The musician/actor has released four albums under the name and he has now confirmed he will put out two more records before walking away from the moniker for good - with the first set to be a finished version of his 2020 recording '3.15.20' which will land under the original title of 'Atavista' and his final album as Childish Gambino will be the sound track to his film 'Bando Storm and the New World'.
During an appearance on his Gilga Radio project - live streamed on Instagram - he explained: "The project I put out, ‘3.15.20’ that no one’s ever heard of, people didn’t even know I put it out, it was originally titled ‘Atavista,’ it was supposed to be ‘Atavista'.
"But we put it out quickly, I didn’t master or mix it, I just kind of put it out. I was going through a lot ... thought everybody was going to die because it was the pandemic. We put it out, we finished it, it’s ‘Atavista,’ we’re putting that out. But then after that, there’s a Childish Gambino album, the final Childish Gambino album."
He confirmed the final record will be a soundtrack and it is inspired by Prince's 1989 album which accompanied the 'Batman' movie.
It comes after the star admitted he has been struggling to find the time to focus on music inbetween his acting roles because he's busy being a dad to his three young sons with Michelle White.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', he explained: “It used to just flow, but now I have kids. Nothing flows anymore. […] Nothing’s as easy as it used to be. So I do block off time now because I’m like, ‘Oh, I want to be here for them at this time, and I want to make sure I see his game, and I want to make…’
"So that takes a lot of scheduling. But I have this kind of farm, I call it, where it’s like an art farm, where I just like… when I go there, then I get to be as ADD as I want."
