Childish Gambino: Awaken My Love Album Review

I am definitely to the Childish Gambino train. After listening to his music the past few weeks, I’m mad at myself for not listening sooner. Thankfully the show Atlanta put me on to his music.

Childish Gambino has proven to one of the rare gems of hip hop. Especially in this era where mumble rap is mainstream and true hip hop almost seems like a dying breed.

But with his new album Awaken My Love, it’s not really hip hop he brings to this album but more of a funkadelic, soul type vibe.

I’m literally just finishing this album and and it is wonderous. What I’ve noticed from Childish Gambino is that he never sticks to one specific type of beat or music. He brings a variety in his albums and this one is no different. My favorites were Me And Your Momma, Redbone, Riot, Stand Tall and Riot.

If you’re not used to the style of music that he uses for this album I highly recommend you listen to it a few more times. It’s worth the listen and it will mos certainly grow on you. I appreciate Gambino for giving us a break from the 21 Savages and Lil Yachtys of music.

As for a score I give this album a 10 out of 10 and I will be blasting this CD in my car for a long time. If you haven’t listened to it yet, go check it out now!
