“There’s a Childish Gambino album, there’s the final Childish Gambino album [after ‘Atavista’], a soundtrack for the fans,” he said.

He added that the album was inspired by Prince’s soundtrack for the 1989 “Batman” film and the star-studded soundtrack to 1995’s “Batman Forever.”

“My fans are great and have been so patient and are starving — this album is for you guys,” he said.

Glover, 40, also made a surprise appearance at Coachella during Tyler, the Creator’s headlining set the same day as the No Doubt performance.

The “Atlanta” and “Community” star has released four albums already under the Childish Gambino moniker. His song “This Is America,” off the album “Upbeat Summer Hits,” won song of the year, best music video, best rap/sung performance and song of the year at the 2019 Grammy Awards. “Redbone,” off the album “Awaken My Love,” won best traditional R&B performance at the 2017 Grammys.

 

Glover previously hinted he’d give up the persona in the future.

“I like it when something’s good and when it comes back, there’s a reason to come back, there’s a reason to do that,” he told HuffPo in 2017.

“Like I feel like there’s gotta be a reason to do things … there’s only so far you can go before you just are the radio.”
