An old Rhodes conduct the base chords in D minor as other instruments get in, like a clavinet, a mellotron, a glockenspiel and the Juno-106 synthesizer. The intro of the song is dominated by a recurrent slap bass line and the Maestro G-2 wah of a vintage Telecaster that plays the melody while a synth organ makes the counterpoint. Göransson recorded all the instruments starting out from a drum beat that Donald Glover was playing. I think people hear "Redbone" and are like, "Oh, he pitched up his vocals," but there was no vocal pitching on the album-I just sang differently. When Glover was doing an interview with Triple J about the album he said: "Redbone" was written by Donald Glover and produced by Ludwig Göransson. Background įollowing the release of " Me and Your Mama", Gambino released the song on November 17, 2016, premiering on Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, with the DJ describing it as "oozing with soul". In 2021, it was ranked #383 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was released on November 17, 2016, and serves as the second single from his third studio album "Awaken, My Love!" The song received three Grammy Award nominations including Record of the Year at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, eventually winning the award for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Pretty, pretty excited to see more of this in Australia over the next couple of months." Redbone" is a song recorded by American rapper and singer Childish Gambino, the stage name of Donald Glover. Check out the clip above and be prepared to hit replay a few times.
Backed by his live band and a choir, the performance cements Gambino’s chameleonic vocal abilities and makes you appreciate his new works so much more. Channelling some serious Prince/Lenny Kravitz energy, Gambino is front and centre in a pair of delightfully sparkly pants (and nothing else) while he flexes that falsetto. By now, we probably all know just how sexy this track is but the Atlanta creator was bound to up the ante with the IRL performance and boy, he does not disappoint. We’ve very recently been blessed with a performance of ‘Redbone’, arguably one of the universal favourites from the album, when Gambino stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. While everyone is still falling over themselves over his excellent album Awaken, My Love!,Childish Gambino is starting to do the rounds of late night television with live renditions of his new singles.
