Yet Another Shit Hot Track From Childish Gambino's Forthcoming Album

"Redbone" sees Gambino on an unstoppable Prince vibe.

Last week Zane Lowe broke a personal record on his Beats 1 show by playing the same song six times in a row. That song was "Me and Your Mama" – the first single from Childish Gambino's forthcoming album Awaken, My Love! – and, to summarise, I've lost track of the amount of tweets I've seen throwing up not even unreasonable comparisons to Prince sandwiched between heart eyes emojis. Now the second single has landed. It's called "Redbone" and, while a little more laid back than "Me and Your Mama", takes the the soulful, sexy vibe Gambino seems to be on right now and runs with it. Vocally, this is the best he's ever sounded.
