Listen to Childish Gambino’s New Album Atavista

Donald Glover has shared a Childish Gambino album that he describes as “the finished version of 3.15.20, the album I put out 4 years ago.” It’s called Atavista and it’s out now. The 11-track record includes the new song “Little Foot Big Foot” featuring Young Nudy, which also comes with a black-and-white music video directed by his longtime collaborator Hiro Murai and stars Quinta Brunson, Monyett Crump, Rob Bynes, and others. Check it out below.

Glover released his most recent Gambino album, 3.15.20, in 2020. He originally uploaded an unfinished studio album to the website donaldgloverpresents.com before taking it down, and it included a number of songs that are similar, if not the same, to those that appear on Atavista. When it reappeared on streaming services a week later, it was under the name 3.15.20 with new song titles and guest appearances by Ariana Grande, Kadhja Bonet, 21 Savage, and Ink, among others.

As Glover notes in his statement, most of the songs on Atavista are polished versions of those same songs. He also adds, “There’s a special vinyl coming soon w/ visuals for each song. The all new childish gambino album comes out in the summer.”

Since dropping 3.15.20, Glover has worked on a number of film and television projects: his acclaimed FX series Atlanta concluded, he executive produced the Prime Video series Swarm in 2022, his remake of Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Maya Erskine dropped this year, and he’s been tapped to develop his upcoming Disney+ series Lando into a feature film.
