"Awaken, My Love!"

Product Information

Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. is the third studio album by American recording artistDonald Glover, under his stage name Childish Gambino. Pops and crackles sure (record had some really light scuffs caused by the record going in and out the innersleeve), but the record sounds alright.

Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.Main bad thing of note on this press is the extremely low volume - on the first track I had to crank it up to 75% whereas on most records I have, I can turn it up to ~45% to get the same volume. He subtly underlines his excursions with a message: “Stay woke … now don’t you close your eyes,” he cries in a high, Prince-like falsetto on “Redbone,” a spacy boogie exploration that thumps with thick lowrider bass. I was disappointed to see so many people say it sounded bad, I am on side B as I type this and haven't noticed any noise or anything.

Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into. A succession of mini-albums and mixtapes surrounded all of this, parallel to acting roles ranging from The Muppets to NBC's cult hit comedy 'Community'. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.Both of the discs on my copy look like they came out of a wood factory - absolutely loaded in surface scuffs and discoloration spots, and it plays noisy as shit. I didn't have the issue of noise or crackling on mine, but as noted on other reviews for the other versions, mine seems VERY quiet compared to my other LPs. On “Have Some Love,” he swings with a leisurely gait akin to Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That” as he implores us, “Have some time for one another/Really love one another. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands.

What's even weirder is that other tracks on this record can get the same volume by turning up to ~55%, track 1 was mastered really low in volume, the rest is still lower in volume compared to most records I have. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. A second series of 'Atlanta' has already been commissioned, whilst Glover has recently been cast in the forthcoming Spider Man movie and has also been confirmed to play the iconic role of Lando Calrissian in the next Star Wars film (a Han Solo spin-off). Whether it’s rocking his best George Clinton impression over the platform boot stomp of “Boogieman,” or delivering a deep-hued spoken word manifesto on “Baby Boy,” Childish Gambino fully inhabits his funkadelic guise. Follow-up 'because the internet' went top 10 on the Billboard chart, was nominated for 2 Grammy Awards and further assimilated Gambino's multiple disciplines (it was accompanied, for instance, by two films and a standalone 72-page screenplay).You could argue that Childish Gambino became a great hip-hop artist when he stopped rapping, but that would be unfair. Gambino delves into the kind of grungy stanklove that OutKast once indulged in on their magnum opuses.
