Childish Gambino’s (aka Donald Glover) new album ‘Awaken, My Love’ just dropped yesterday and we aren’t sure how it is going to sit with his fans. Earlier in the month he said that one of his main inspirations for this album was the popular funk band from the 70’s ‘Funkadelic’. After listening through the album we can say that there is definitely a heavy ‘Funkadelic’ influence and that it is a significant change from his previous music. From our perspective we understand that this album was an experimental project for him but others may not. Regardless, we respect this album and would recommend to go into it with an open mind. Have a listen to our favourites below (excluding the previously released singles).
