Childish Gambino (real name Donald Glover) has been in the zone over the past few months, and a new clip of him cooking in the studio with longtime collaborator Ludwig Göransson suggests the best is yet to come.
On Sunday (June 9), the 40-year-old rapper and singer took to his private Instagram page to share a video of the two working on new music together.

Whereas it is unclear what exactly they are discussing, the Awaken, My Love! hitmaker can be heard telling his peer: “Everything now is like— y’know, less people play instruments, so like everybody’s just using their voice and they’re filling it up with a bunch of reverb.”
The Swedish producer then plays back a snippet that will presumably be on the multi-hyphenate’s next project. Check it out below:

Glover released Atavista by surprise last month, kickstarting what is expected to be an unusually busy year for him on the music front.
His latest offering is the “finished” version of 3.15.20, the album he released in March 2020 that has now been removed from all streaming platforms. This new iteration features official song titles and reworked tracks as well as new vocals from Young Nudy and Summer Walker.
He previously revealed that his next album is named Bando Stone In The New World, which is being billed as his final album as Childish Gambino. Set to drop this summer, it is a soundtrack for a film of the same name that he is currently developing.
Shortly after his most recent release, Glover announced The New World Tour. The 58-date jaunt will take him across North America, Europe and Oceania between August 2024 and February 2025.
