He will head out on tour in the fall with special guests Rae Sremmurd and Vince Staples he is also performing at a new installment of his elaborate Pharos festival in New Zealand in November. Glover recently left Glassnote Records for RCA and is expected to release a new album later this year. In the video’s closing moments, SZA (or someone who looks an awful lot like her) makes an appearance, sitting on a car and looking briefly at the camera. Filmed in a large warehouse, the video features a shirtless Glover dancing comically between scenes that alternate between humorous (his dancing and facial expressions) and disturbing (he pulls out an assault rifle and shoots both a hooded captive and, apparently, a gospel choir).
Later in the show he performed another new song, “This Is America,” for which he dropped a politically-tinged new video directed by Hiro Murai (who has worked on previous Gambino videos and also directed several episodes of “Atlanta”). The song concluded with a heavy percussion breakdown while Glover danced. The photo of Glover that appeared directly before he performed his new song “Saturday” was clearly styled on the cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1971 album “Music of My Mind,” and that reference was likely no accident: The combines a Caribbean feel with a strong early-‘70s vibe reminiscent of Wonder songs like “Boogie on Reggae Woman” and “Golden Lady.” He was introduced by Zoe Kravitz - Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet’s daughter - who then joined a group of partying people surrounding Glover and his band, who sipped drinks from red plastic cups, danced and played dominos. Donald Glover - turned his appearance on the show into a multi-faceted promotional vehicle, serving as both host and musical guest and appearing in nearly every skit on the show (including a mock-horror sketch about Kanye West’s tweets and another in which a rap trio styled on Migos - who, in another connection, have appeared on Glover’s popular television show “Atlanta” - are in a therapy session. II.With a tour, a new record deal, a new video and two brand-new songs performed on “ Saturday Night Live,” it looks like Childish Gambino’s forthcoming forth album may be arriving sooner than later.
He belted out tunes from his latest LP, Because the Internet as well as a few numbers from his previous, Camp and ended the night with a special freestyle with fellow artist, Steve G Lover. Verse 2: Childish Gambino Balling like Jabari Parker, they say I look like him If we met bet it would be awkward break out the Sudafed Cause the flow cold, like a SoCo I was smoking-smoking John. Gambino gave a strong performance and commanded the audience with rap ballads and power chords featuring thoughtful lyrics about racism, politics, family, and love. The backgrounds were stellar, they included a house with windows, crazy blue and white surging lightning bolts, and an outdoor bonfire. Not to mention his posse of folks just chillin’ in the back on couches. That was not the case here, the stage was packed with instrumentalists from a keyboardist, two guitarists, a DJ, a drummer, and probably a few others. So in my head all I picture is the main rapper and DJ in the background. Ok, so I haven’t really been to many hip hop shows, with the exception of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis at the Roots Picnic last year. Especially when there was a dropped phone call over the loud speakers that beeped for a few minutes before Gambino finally entered the stage. With no opening act, only a DJ that played 90’s hip hop singles like “Hot in Herre” and “MotownPhilly”, the crowd was getting antsy. The background was lit with a twitter feed where fans could type in anything and it would pop up on screen which ensued hilarity and a lot of sexual innuendos. The Electric Factory was packed with eager fans anticipating what was sure to be an epic performance.
