Childish Gambino’s Final Album Features Everyone From Chl?e to Yeat
Childish Gambino is bringing us into the world of Bando Stone — and taking his musician friends with him. On Thursday, Gambino announced the track list for his album Bando Stone & the New World, which he has teased as his final LP under his Gambino moniker.
The album — set to be the soundtrack for his upcoming film of the same name — will feature collaborations with artists such as Chl?e, Yeat, Amaarae, and Flo Milli, among others. Bando Stone will open with “H3@rt$ W3re M3@nt T0 F7￥,” which features Ghanaian American star Amaarae, who co-wrote several tracks on the new album.

Childish Gambino Teams Up with Amaarae and Jorja Smith for New Tack 'In the Night'
The Fountain Baby singer’s vocals return on the fifth track, “Talk My Shit,” alongside Flo Milli, and again on “In the Night” with Jorja Smith. (The Smith and Amaarae track, which dropped as a single earlier this week, features writing from Tierra Whack.)
Chl?e joins Gambino on “Survive.” Toward the end of the LP, Yeat will rap with the musician on “Cruisin.” Singer-songwriter Fousheé appears on “Running Around,” while duo Khruangbin joins Gambino on “Happy Survival.”
Although they are not explicitly on the track list, both Fousheé and Steve Lacy’s vocals are also included on “Steps Beach,” which the trio performed together during a recent Little Island event in New York City.
Gambino previewed Bando Stone by dropping “Lithonia” earlier this month. The LP will also feature solo tracks such as “Got to Be,” “Yoshinoya,” “No Excuses,” “Dadvocate,” and album closer, “A Place Where Love Goes.”
