Amidst the holiday season, Childish Gambino will follow up his solo 2013 project Because the Internet with his forthcoming album dubbed Awaken, My Love!. Over the three years since we heard his last studio release, Gambino has kept himself pretty busy with sporadic track drops and starring in the popular FX comedy, Atlanta. Childish Gambino’s Awaken, My Love! delivers 11 tracks in total with the cuts ”Me and Your Mama” and “Redbone” as the leading singles.

As you listen to the project from beginning to end, you’re ushered into a captivating world of funkadelic sounds. Each track effortlessly transitions from the previous song as your ears are filled with a wide selection of instruments, forcing you to long for a live performance. And throughout Awaken, My Love!, it’s noted that Childish Gambino appreciates the art of production and allowing gaps of instrumentation to speak for themselves.

While using Skullcandy’s Crusher Wireless headphones you’ll notice subtle nuances in sound such as the nautical rhythms of “California,” along with the nostalgic vibe of “Thriller.” In addition to the headphone’s comfort, you’ll find that the approximately 49-minute project’s grasping sound places you in an immersive aural experience. The full stereo haptic bass puts you at the forefront of whatever your favorite track is with a larger-than-life sound quality reminiscent of the feeling of standing near vibrating concert speakers.

Nonetheless, Childish Gambino’s Awaken, My Love! is a step away from Because the Internet, yet its experimental sound is something you’d expect and respect coming from the multifaceted talent. Awaken, My Love! officially releases on December 2.
