Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.
//// It looks like there is still time to call Donald Glover 'Childish Gambino.'
Despite the artist hinting that the moniker was close to being retired, Glover signed
a fresh deal with RCA Records to release new music for what's being called the next phase.
According to a statement from RCA CEO Peter Edge to Variety on Monday, the deal which
is a partnership between RCA and Glover's agency/label Wold + Rothstein, will segue
the next phase of Gambino.
Glover himself says that this transition was a necessary change of pace for him.
Variety reports that new Gambino music is expected at some point this year but a source
close to Glover clarified to Complex that his 2018 schedule is still being locked down.
With multiple projects currently in motion, the source suggests we may not get new music
until 2019 the earliest.
One of his many highly anticipated projects this year is season 2 of Glover's FX series
Atlanta which kicks off on March 1st.
During an interview with the Huffington Post, the artist expressed fear that his continuation
of Gambino combined with his work in Atlanta "wouldn't be punk."
But him signing to RCA seems like he put those fears to rest.
Glover's deal follows his massive ongoing success of his 2016 album Awaken, My Love!
which is up for Album of the Year at this week's Grammy Awards.
His single Redbone is also up for Record of the Year and Best R&B Song.
