Whining guitar riffs, reminiscent of 1970s rock, comes in halfway through the song and carries it to the end with heavy whammy bar accents. The long intro leads into a smooth, almost haunting female chorus. “The Night Me and Your Mama Met” opens with acoustic guitar with modified electric guitar accents. Gambino’s smooth, almost whining voice, leads the track into a heavily soulful track with vocal riffs, deep guitar riffs and choral harmonies. “Terrified” opens with a heavy, reverberating bass and a soft siren, bringing the vibe back down to a deep, soulful level. This song combines influences from the ‘60s, ‘70s and today. Gambino’s synthesized, funky voice is overlaid on top of interesting background layers. “California” is a beachy track that features light-hearted piano chords with staccato guitar. This song, however, brings the listener to a fog-filled scene similar to the music video of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The same funky feel as the previous songs runs throughout this track, as well. The song is somewhat sensual with soft female backing vocals. “Zombies,” takes the vibe of the album down with slower beats, less layer-heavy background music and more organic vocals from Gambino. Gambino’s synthesized vocals carry throughout the song with an underlay of funky guitar and bass riffs that lead into choral breaks. This leads into “Boogieman,” which explodes with deep choral vocals and heavy bass accents. This song brings the listener back to the hazy rooms of 1970 where soul began. The song features a muffled vocal sequence from Gambino on top of an organ progression and background vocal accents. The next song, “Have Some Love,” opens with heavy drums that blend into a chorus of soulful singers. It is an incredible opener to this innovative album. The album begins with his teaser release song “ Me and Your Mama, ” a passionate song that features the texturous and rough voice of Gambino, overlayed on top of an operatic chorus and various deep backing tracks. This is arguably his most experimental album yet, delving into deep soulful sounds and eclectic styles. 2, Childish Gambino released his fourth album titled “Awaken, My Love!”.
