Description
A refined reimagining of his 2020 album 3.15.20, Childish Gambino’s evolution both musically and personally has come full circle. Originally released during the early pandemic, 3.15.20 was a raw, unfinished work, but Atavista polishes its predecessor, adding clarity and finality to Gambino’s bold vision. The album retains its experimental nature, ranging from vintage soul to dark, electronic soundscapes, with tracks like ‘Psilocybae’ (formerly ‘12.38’) and ‘To Be Hunted’ now more defined and impactful. The refined vocals and instrumentals elevate the emotional depth, while the stripped-down tracklist favors the fresher sounds like the title track and ‘Human Sacrifice’. While the album doesn’t stray far from its predecessor, the tweaks are significant. Gambino’s collaborations with Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, and Summer Walker shine and tracks such as ‘Time’ and ‘Final Church’ demonstrate his ability to blend sweet melodies with dark, experimental energy. A powerful prelude to what could be his final album, coming next.
