Childish Gambino's experimental album 'Awaken, My Love!' is a departure from his previous works, with a focus on funk and soul music. The album is inspired by his childhood memories of listening to The Isley Brothers and Funkadelic with his father. The album features no rapping, only singing and shouting, and explores themes of fatherhood and love. Gambino's refusal to repeat himself has once again paid off with this new release.
