Childish Gambino has shared a new single with Jorja Smith and Amaarae called ‘In The Night’ – check it out below.Shared this morning (July 16), the new track is the latest from Donald Glover’s forthcoming album ‘Bando Stone & The New World’ – his sixth studio release, last under the Childish Gambino moniker and expected to be his most eclectic material yet.Initially, Glover dropped the lead single ‘Lithonia’ at the start of the month, which incorporated hints of punk and rock genres.Now, he has shared the second teaser of the new LP, an equally experimental song called ‘In The Night’ which is a glitchy dance track that incorporates hints of dancehall.“I’m just a country boy from Georgia / Your body’s made for California, my love / Your man does nothin’ but adore ya / But I wonder, what would he say?” Glover sings in the opening lines, as a smooth cadence and groove-dominated drum rhythm start to gather momentum. “You look so good, I can’t afford ya / He kissed your lips it looked like torture, for you / Just ’cause you’re sweet don’t make you loyal.”As it progresses, Jorja Smith delivers some hypnotic, reverb-soaked vocals, before Amaarae adds to the dance feel with her autotone-inspired lines.Check it out below.The ‘Bando Stone & The New World’ album will also serve as the official soundtrack for a new movie of the same name.

Amaarae is the latest artist to grace NPR’s Tiny Desk studio with her presence. It’s now common practice to squeeze a large ensemble into that famously small space, but the Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter outdid herself, bringing in an 11-piece backing band for a seven-song set — five tracks from her just-released sophomore album, Fountain Baby, and two from her 2020 debut LP, THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW — that seamlessly fused buoyant Afrobeats grooves with smooth pockets of American R&B.

Ghanian-American artist Amaarae delivered a jewel of a debut album in 2020 with The Angel You Don't Know, an infectious album of alté-pop so memorable it landed on our annual Best Songs of the Year list twice in a row: once in 2020 with "Fancy" and again the following year for the Kali Uchis-featuring "Sad Girlz Luv Money" remix that conquered TikTok and racked up hundreds of millions of streams. Today, Amaarae is sharing the details of her sophomore album Fountain Baby: it's coming June 9, and today you can hear its latest single "Co-Star." Serene harp melodies, a boisterous Afrobeat, and Amaarae's commanding falsetto all drive “Co-Star” through its witty celebration of star signs and their romantic compatibility.
