We Say Goodbye Once Again to Childish Gambino
Alright back in 2020, I wrote a review about Childish Gambino's album 3.15.20 but over the years, I ended up learning that the album felt like it wasn't finished so I ended up listening to it again while it was still on Spotify. They were right, 3.15.20 felt like it wasn't done even though there were some great songs on it, he did end up coming out with the finished album that is known as Atavista now. Just like Because the Internet, Gambino builds a world with Bando Stone with not just an album but a movie as well. As far as I'm aware, there's no release date for it but there is a trailer for it.
