This is America, which means Donald Glover has choices.
And the actor and writer has made one in deciding to retire his musical alter ego, Childish Gambino. “It’s not fulfilling,” he told the New York Times in a recent interview. “I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.” The Grammy-award winner said he’s doing it after the release of his sixth album, “Bando Stone & the New World,” scheduled for Friday. Not that his music career has come easy.
His single “Redbone” burst on the scene after his critically acclaim series “Atlanta” debuted in 2016 and he won his first Grammy. Two years later, his song “This Is America” became a protest anthem and won him multiple Grammys, including song and record of the year. Around that same time, Glover both lost his father and welcomed his second child, something that made him more reflective. “I’m not 25 anymore, standing in front of a boulder like, ‘This has to move,’” he said.
