I used to hear Redbone on the radio I thought it was a classic. But my friend told me it was a Donald Glover song and I could hardly believe it. Redbone really is an abnormality, it's bizarre to see a song of that type reach the charts in this decade, but it's also incredible. Godspeed to Donald Glover for making such a cool song.

You forgot to mention that Donald Glover basically dedicated "Awaken, My Love!" to his newborn son. He wanted to someday show his kid the music he grew up listening to, that's why he pulled direct influences from those reference you mentioned. The tracks' lyrical themes also reflect it.

@@justjoshua0121 Well, he could very well do what a lot of other artists have done in this situation and depending on the success of the next album, he jus won't release anymore as Gambino. So he'll either come up with a new persona, or straight up release them as Donald Glover. Because if his final release as Gambino does well, him and his producers aren't dumb, they aren't going to leave all of that money just sitting on the table that they could all make from him releasing new albums. So I'd say it's pretty likely well see that, and pretty likely it'll come along side a style change, unless it really is all about the money, in which case he'll probably just stick to what's worked so far; generating controversy.

you either know a little bit about sound engineering or you just have a good ear. if you know what vocal pitching sounds like it’s easy to spot but this song does use a stereo/doubling effect on his vocals-so maybe that’s where people got the idea?

Check out his song centipede, or his cover of "what kinda love" He's always been able to sing, but this is a bit more experimental with his voice. I've know a lot of people who either thing it's pitched, or even don't think or recognize that's him singing.

In all honesty, the first time I heard "Redbone", I thought it was sung by a woman.

Redbone but you're not watching a meme it's a Polyphonic video

The title of the song itself is slang for a lightskinned black woman usually used in urban areas in the 70s-2000s really. So that adds a layer to the lyrics

Man, I don't listen to the radio or hip hop, and I had no idea that stand-up comedian Donald Glover had a hip hop persona called Childish Gambino, but I'll never forget being in this dudes car that I was doing a job for and hearing this come on the radio. I was like, "What the Hell, this station was just playing rap a second ago, and now they're playing some awesome song from the 70's... How have I never heard this before?" I'm a huge music lover, and listen to all genres, from classical, to soul to metal, so I didn't understand how I'd missed this awesome song. When he got back in the car from pumping gas, he was surprised to see me bopping my head to this. "You like that?" He said with a smirk. "Yeah man, this is awesome. Who is it?" "That's Childish Gambino, Redbone. You've never heard that before?" "Nah man, don't know how I missed it..." >Mfw I went home and Googled Childish Gambino and found out it was that nerdy comic I liked. >Mfw I can't post my face in the KZread comments section. >Mfw I have no face

The main melody of the song (I think a guitar is playing) was inspired in a brief lick of Portrait of Tracy by Jaco Pastorious too.

YES! In the polypohonic subreddit I asked for a video incorporating Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly and the family Stone's influence on hip hop. They are my two favorite bands but there is so few videos on them on youtube that aren't just low quality interviews of the band members. Glad they get the respect they deserve for birthing a whole new sound in Funk and Hip Hop!

Another great deep dive into a great song. Thank you! And seeing some references to the P-Funk made me extra happy :)

4:26 Larry Graham has a biracial Canadian nephew named Aubrey Graham, who we now know as Drake!

i genuinely thought he had Macy Gray do a guest spot on this song on my first listen...I got to the end and was like "He never sang on the song" and googled it and was shocked. SHOCKED I SAY

I used the opening to Redbone as my alarm tone for two years. now I can't hear it without perking up a bit

Not only is he an astounding actor, director, producer, screenwriter--but stand up comedian!! Let's not forget the hysterical "Weirdo" performance.

Once in a while an album comes out that Changes Everything. When Awaken, My Love came out I had the same feeling as when D'Angelo's Voodoo came out or Outkast's The Love Below.
