Childish Gambino: Bando Stone and the New World review – a frenetic farewell


The actor and musician Donald Glover has had a frantic few years. Starring in this year’s Amazon series remake of
Mr & Mrs Smith
, as well as writing a
Star Wars
spinoff film and voicing Simba in the live-action
Lion King
, his musical project as Childish Gambino has taken a backseat. Now returning with his sixth album,
Bando Stone & The New World,
Glover has said it will be his last before retiring the Gambino alter ego.

Soundtracking an accompanying film of the same name,
Bando Stone
traverses everything from trap to guitar-strumming pop-punk and jazz across its 17 tracks, producing a sprawling, confounding work. Opening with the hammering synth lines of Kanye West
Yeezus
-era ripoff Hearts Were Meant to Fly, the pastiches continue with the soulful melodies of Survive, which sounds like
Flower Boy
-era Tyler, the Creator, and Happy Survival, featuring Khruangbin, which sounds entirely like a mellow composition of their own making.

Glover fares better on his own terms, as on the sultry funk of In the Night, the R&B balladry of Steps Beach and the Latin jazz jam of No Excuses, b






Hi, everyone. Band Stonetano here, the internet's busiest music nerd. It's time for a review of this new
Childish Gambino
album,
Bando Stone and the New World
.

Yes, here we have a brand new album from rapper, songwriter, singer, actor, director, producer, Mr.
Donald Glover
, aka Childish Gambino. This will be his fifth and final album under the Gambino name, as Glover seems to be continuing and revamping his music career but wants to do it under a different moniker, maybe his own name. Either way, he seems to be retiring the somewhat tongue-in-cheek Gambino thing that helped put him on the map in the first place.

This record, important to note, also serves as the soundtrack for an upcoming film of the same name, starring Glover. Not a lot is yet known about the movie outside of a few cast members, and that synopsis-wise, I guess it's a survival film with an apocalyptic setting, and Glover plays a singer of all things in this scenario. There are little tidbits of all of this peppered throughout the album in the intros and outros to these tracks, arriving in the form of these vocal snippets performed by the actors in the film. And while none of this gives a full pictu

Bando Stone & The New World: Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know About The Upcoming Childish Gambino Movie


Although Donald Glover will sadly not be returning for
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
season 2, there is still one upcoming project from the multi-talented performer to look forward to. Glover's rap artist alter ego, Childish Gambino, released his final album in 2024,
Bando Stone & the New World.
The record kicked off the rapper’s 2024 New World Tour, and was met with high acclaim. Glover had previously stated that the record was a soundtrack that would accompany a film of the same name, and a trailer for

Bando Stone & the New World

was released on YouTube in July 2024.

It's been about 10 months since the trailer came out, with very little news since. Some diehard fans have wondered where the movie is that Glover promised, with some speculating that the
Bando Stone
movie doesn’t actually exist — which, admittedly, would be in line with the enigmatic rapper's mysterious persona. Conspiracy theories aside for the moment, let’s just assume that
Bando Stone
is a real movie that will presumably be released for public consumption, and look at what we know about

Childish Gambino – Bando Stone and the New World Review


Childish Gambino can do no wrong. At least, that is what his die-hard fans would have us believe. Donald Glover is an artistic weapon and is spiralling out of fashion.
Bando Stone and The New World
is a fascinating project more for the man behind it than the context of its release. With the weight of touring on his shoulders and the alleged farewell reception set to be received later this year, it is hard to argue against the relevance of these final instalments. But capping your career and ending it are two different things, as LCD Soundsystem showed after five years out.
Bando Stone and The New World
is by no means a bad album to go out on – if Gambino is set to do so – but it does leave much room for growth in a constantly evolving, at times interesting sound.

His sounds of liberation in the under-hated and overmedicated world feel cut straight from the average Twitter feed.
Lithonia
has an exceptional tenderness to it through its instrumental function, but its lyrical components are nothing more than the anti-bile stance seen as common sense. That it may be, but exploring it further is necessary.
