Awaken My Love
In September, Childish Gambino a.k.a Donald Glover debuted new music at his mysterious PHAROS event at Joshua Tree. While we’ve heard some new music from him recently—one of his latest tracks was featured in an Atlanta trailer—there’s been no word on when/if a new project is on its way.
That is, until rumors started flying over the weekend. Reddit user _LucidDreams posted an image of a blackboard listing of upcoming releases at their local FYE store:
According to the image, Glover allegedly has a project titled Awaken, My Love slated for a December 2 release date. It sits alongside The Rolling Stones' forthcoming album, Blue & Lonesome. The user says they asked the cashier what he knew about the date and the cashier replied, “It’s a new album coming I guess. That’s all we have written down.”
Upon further digging, Reddit users also found that online music database AllMusic.com has the album title listed along with the December 2 release date.
A December release date makes sense for Glover whose new FX Series Atlanta wrapped earlier this month. While we don’t know if Glover changed the title of his album from PHAROS to Awaken, My Love, this new title may mean PHAROS is strictly a live album and may never see a wider public release.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Glover spoke on the PHAROS experience. “I had all these songs and I was like I wanted people to feel like it felt to be in them,“ he said. “It really is just a way for people to hear the album, but also experience the world that it’s in.”
We’ve reached out to Glover’s camp for comment and are awaiting their response.
