He has been everywhere these last two years: on TV in Atlanta or Saturday Night Live, in cinemas with Star Wars, and on all the radio shows with his latest global hits Feels Like Summer or This Is America, and his superb video denouncing racism and violence in the country. After a period of confinement, Donald Glover came back without warning, uploading his fourth album, soberly titled 3.15.20. The track listing is just as detached, with tracks composed of numbers indicating the length of time since the beginning of the record, with the exception of Algorhythm, a cranky industrial P-funk that launches the album after a psychedelic prologue, and Time, with a very discreet Ariana Grande (Feels like Summer also returns under the title 42.26). Assisted in production by the faithful Ludwig Goransson and DJ Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples...), Childish Gambino revisits black music with a twist (53.49) and pushes it to its limits, mixing rap, rave and industrial on 32.22 or on the eight minutes of 24.19, somewhere between Prince and Bohemian Rhapsody. These sonic and cultural collisions create great moments, such as the synthetic pop song of the future 19.10 or 12.38 with 21 Savage and Khadja Bonet, the climax of an album that still has the power to upset the applecart. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
