Childish Gambino Drops “In the Night” Featuring Amaarae and Jorja Smith
Childish Gambino, the musical alter ego of Donald Glover, has released a new track titled “In the Night,” featuring the talents of Amaarae and Jorja Smith. This release comes just ahead of his much-anticipated album Bando Stone & the New World, set to drop this Friday, July 19, via RCA Records. The song is co-produced by Glover, DJ Dahi, and Kurtis McKenzie.
The Final Chapter
Bando Stone & the New World is more than just an album—it’s the soundtrack to an upcoming movie of the same name. Glover, who has hinted that this might be Childish Gambino’s final album, released a trailer for the film last month, further fueling excitement. The project promises to be a multi-faceted artistic endeavor, blending music and cinema in a way that only Glover can.
Featuring Rising Stars
Amaarae, who lends her unique voice to “In the Night,” recently expanded her 2023 LP Fountain Baby with the release of Roses Are Red, Tears Are Blue. Her involvement in this track adds a fresh, vibrant energy. Meanwhile, Jorja Smith, who released her sophomore album Falling or Flying last October, brings her soulful and emotive style, complementing the collaboration beautifully.
