He really did it guys! Sure it's only a 6 track E.P. but Childish Gambino has released one of the best records of the year.
I heard he had more tracks but didn't think they were up to a high enough standard. Either because the production and instrumentation was muddeled, his voice couldn't do quite what he wanted or they were just poorly written. Apparently his record company was pissed as he was contracted for a full LP but he's going to work on the salvageable tracks he missed out for his next release. A small price to pay for artistic integrity.
Here's the tracklist:
Childish Gambino - Awaken, My Love!
1. Me and Your Mama
2. Boogieman
3. Redbone
4. Terrified
5. The Night Me and Your Mama Met
6. Stand tall
This is gold so I would have been interested to hear what the full LP sounded like. But I guess we'll never know if it would have been great or a massive disappointment.
One do you guys think about this E.P.?

OP here.
I heard that was one of tracks he didn't think quite made the grade. Poorly written I heard him say in an interview. Guess we'll never know.
>>69485836
it sounds like hes trying to be jimmy hendrix or something except hes terrible
this might have been the worst thing i listened to this year

I heard a leak of Have Some Love and it sounded ok. But i guess Mr Glover didn't want to release a song that had a great chorus/hook but with verses that sounded like him doing a drunk Robert Smith impression.
Obviously needed more work. Maybe he'll add some rap into the verses instead of his obviously place holder bad vocals. Lets hope so!

May I ask what you do all day outside of masturbating tearfully?
>>69485836
it felt directionless at times, and the main influences on the work seemed waaaaay to forced. He just kinda threw a bunch of shit together and was like LOOK it was like TLOP but at least the TLOP was decent.
The instrumentals were top notch in my opinion, and showed a lot of ability by childish.
But it's funny cause the WORST part of the entire project was childish gambino. God he was awful.
>>69485836
I like you OP
>>69485888
I don't think it's that good a state desu

Over about 25 minutes is an LP, I don't care what the artist says. Previously released songs, remixes, etc. can be discounted for time qualification.

thats a pretty good point
i liked the production on it and maybe if it was a different artist bringing the same flavor overall it would've ranked higher for me

absolutly savage
I loved, Me & Your Mama and Redbone.
Anything similar??
>>69485920
just listen to funkadelic ffs
>>69492231
It's also the hype that surrounded this albums drop which we basically waited years for.
When artists drop tracks 'influenced' by other artists it always feels cheap and uninspired, in this case Funkadelic, Prince and whatever.
Those first two singles MAYM & Redbone might be his best work so i'm torn on it all
All I see on KTT is a bunch of childish gambino apologists, 'CALIFORNIA ISNT THAT BAD'.
>no it is
The songs are good, y'all being harsh AF.
Problem is Awaken! is literally a modern take on funk music in 2016 Is it a decent album? Yes. Did we really need it, No.
