Childish Gambino New Song
Childish Gambino used his SNL performance to debut some new music — some of it in the form of a new music video released directly to Youtube during his hosting gig — and it appears he’s starting to find a synthesis between his two primary musical personas. While he retains the funky vibes of his Awaken, My Love! masterpiece on his new song, reportedly called “Saturday,” it veers away from the outright homage to a more modern delivery.
The song’s release coincided with Gambino’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he performed the new track, along with “Saturday,” another new track. Will this be on his next album?
After being introduced by none other than actress Zoe Kravitz, Gambino hit the stage with an unbuttoned leisure shirt, gold chains, and a full band to perform among a packed crowd on stage sitting on lawn chairs and playing dominoes while sipping from red cups. It looked like a house party in the ’70s, complete with a performance from the coolest man on the block.

Dropping amid ongoing political and cultural tumult and turmoil, Childish Gambino’s “This is America” appears to be a commentary on black life in America and American culture as a whole. It contrasts popular culture’s perception of black experience and its often brutal reality by juxtaposing happy, carefree choruses and dark, aggressive verses.
This contrast may also allude to the cyclical shifts in mood whenever there is a shooting in America. One second, the entire nation is in an uproar, the next, they are happy and unconcerned, placated by pop culture trends.

In the music video, directed by frequent Gambino collaborator Hiro Murai, Gambino portrays this comparison by dancing around gleefully with school-aged children, seemingly unbothered by the chaotic scenes of violence in the background. However, in the short film’s final scene, Gambino is seen running frantically through a darkened warehouse trying to escape the mob that now chases him; a reminder that if America chooses to remain willfully ignorant to its problems, they will inevitably be the country’s downfall.
“This is America” is Gambino’s first single since he dropped the 2016 studio album Awaken, My Love!. The song’s release coincided with Gambino’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he performed the new track, along with “Saturday,” another new track.
