Childish Gambino teased his new album last month and explained its origins, revealing that 3.15.20 was always originally titled Atavista.
“But we put it out quickly, I didn’t master or mix it, I just kind of put it out,” he said. “I was going through a lot, n##### thought everybody was going to die because it was the pandemic. We put it out, we finished it, it’s ‘Atavista,’ we’re putting that out.
He also revealed his final project as Childish Gambino will serve as the soundtrack to his film Bando Storm and the New World.
“But then after that, there’s a Childish Gambino album,” he added. “The last Childish Gambino album is a soundtrack to this film, and it is for my fans.”
