Donald Glover has had a busy 2016, with the birth of his child, creating and acting in one of the best new shows on television in FX's Atlanta and nabbing the role of a young Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo spin-off movie. Forgive him, then, for failing to disclose much news on his rap alias Childish Gambino.
Glover left his fans in a limbo over the rumors of a new album after likely previewing some of its music at a device-free music festival in Joshua Tree, California, back in September under the name Pharos. In turn, many believed Pharos would be the title of his next album. But new leaks suggest the album is coming in December, called Awaken, My Love.
There are actually a couple of places the album's name and release have been spotted: One redditor pointed to his loyal FYE's 'What's New' sign and a Dec. 2 release date. Plus, AllMusic has the album up with a 2016 release on its site (Complex reported that the album was also seen on Amazon, but the listings have since been removed).
There's been no word yet from Glover's camp, but a late 2016 album would be a fitting end to one of the best years for the genre — and the industry as a whole — in over a decade. He hasn't released a full studio album since 2013's Because the Internet, though 2014's double mixtape, STN MTN/Kauai did help hold some fans over.
New music from doesn't necessarily mean we'll be getting the Gambino of old. Last year, he said the era of Childish Gambino may be coming to an end, describing the persona as a 'period in my art time' rather than a continuation of the artistic identity he's formed. Reactions from his Pharos event — assuming we're talking about the same music for the rumored album release — labored that point.
'If Because the Internet represented a vape-smoking, phone-obsessed, introspective, existentialist part of Gambino, Pharos opens a window to another side of him: one that is earthier and more ritualistic,' the Fader's Tyler Mitchell wrote in September.
Mic has reached out to Glover's team for comment.

I really wanted to like this. The flows, the lyricism and the beats are all there, it's just not clicking for me..
Maybe it's not that good
Solid debut, but it seems like he's trying to hard. The closing track sounds like the only time he's really being honest. But then, he also sounds like he's just having fun the whole way through.
The Eminem influence is obvious from the start and perhaps too pervasive, but it's refreshing to hear MM's style without the inflammatory immaturity. Good stuff.
The beats on this album are incredibly well done and the lyrics are witty and clever. This is everything rap can be.
A solid rap album that is charming, filled with influence, yet nuanced enough to stand on as a great debut from a truly talented rapper.

During his Saturday set at Governors Ball Music Festival, Donald Glover told the crowd that his next Childish Gambino will most likely be his last. He’s now elaborated on the decision, telling HuffPost that he no longer finds Childish Gambino music “necessary.” He added, “Like I feel like there’s gotta be a reason to do things and I always had a reason to be punk.” Glover continued, “Being punk just always felt really good to me and we always looked at ‘Atlanta’ as a punk show and I feel like the direction I would go with Childish Gambino wouldn’t be punk anymore. As much as ‘Redbone’ is a punk song because it’s a gospel song that’s on the radio, I’m like there’s only so far you can go before you just are the radio.” Read the full interview here.
Glover released his third Childish Gambino album, “Awaken, My Love!”, last year. The second season of “Atlanta” is currently scheduled for 2018.
