Ahead of his Australian live shows, Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover spoke to Triple J about his brand new album Awaken, My Love! for the first time since its release last Friday. The discussion finds him talking about his PHAROS event in Joshua Tree, the chemistry he has with Ludwig Göransson, the sound of the project and, Questlove’s crazy reaction on Instagram, in which he says he woke up D’Angelo at 4am to hear it.

Despite how epic the LP sounds, it apparently wasn’t that enjoyable to make. “It’s funny, I think people hear the album and, to be completely honest, it wasn’t a lot of fun,” says Gambino. “It was actually really hard. I was going through a lot, and I also think in America we’re going through a lot right now, with everything that’s going on.”
