Donald Glover has made a few pretty cryptic comments about retiring from music in recent years, and it seems he’s making it official. The five-time Grammy winner recently teased the release of two new Childish Gambino albums, one of which will be his last.
Glover recently took to social media to debut some new music, and described his Instagram live as “a rollout dummy”. He played three new tracks, including the previously leaked “Human Sacrifice” and a full version of “Little Foot Big Foot”, expected to be featured on his next album Atavista, an updated version of 3.15.20.
He also announced the release of its follow-up, which he described as “the final Childish Gambino album, a soundtrack for the fans.” It will be connected to his next film Bando Stone & The New World, set to be released this summer.
Glover dropped hints about retiring the Childish Gambino act on several occasions over the years, and he previously told HuffPost that he’s considering ending his music career because it doesn’t feel “necessary” anymore.
“There’s nothing worse than like a third sequel, like a third movie and we’re like, ‘again?’ You know, I like it when something’s good and when it comes back there’s a reason to come back, there’s a reason to do that,” Glover told HuffPost.
