Awaken, My Love! was Gambino’s third studio album and ended up getting praise from the critics, and being nominated for Album of the Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album at Grammy Awards, while single “Redbone” received the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Despite his musical success, Donald Glover said in June 2017 that he will retire Childish Gambino moniker after he releases the fourth album. He said that he feels his music career is no longer “necessary” adding that “there’s nothing worse than like a third sequel”.

In case he retires from music, Glover will still be kept pretty busy with his acting career. His FX comedy-drama Atlanta was renewed for season two after the first season received universal critical acclaim. He is also working on an animated series based on Marvel’s superhero character Deadpool, and several movie projects including upcoming The Lion King remake.

“I’m really appreciative of this [award] and I’m making another project right now, just, you know, to make,” he said when asked about the retirement plans by Variety. “But I like endings and I think they’re important to progress. I think like, if a lot of things had death clauses in them, we wouldn’t have a lot of problems in the world, to be honest. So I think endings are good because they force things to get better.”

Before he says goodbye to Childish Gambino, Glover will reissue Gambino’s first EP, 2011’s five-songs release which contains his breakthrough song “Freaks and Geeks.”

Childish Gambino’s third studio album titled Awaken, My Love! was released in December 2016, and represents a departure from the hip-hop style which was predominant on the previous two releases. On this album, the majority of the songs are sung rather than rapped and are influenced by psychedelic soul, funk, and R&B sound. Awaken, My Love! ended up receiving positive reviews from the critics who described it as “colourful, brilliantly messy, and a fully committed hodge-podge of psych and spacecake croons”. The album debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, becoming Glover’s highest charting one to date.

Donald Glover intends to focus more on his acting career, which has been on the rise in these past few years. Despite creating, writing and starring in Golden Globes and Emmy award-winning drama Atlanta, Glover also starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming as Aaron Davis and is set to portray a young version of Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story and Simba in Disney’s Live Action version of The Lion King.
