Childish Gambino Lights Up Brooklyn With New Songs, Old School Jams, Next-Level Tech — and Shaboozey: Concert Review
Childish Gambino — aka Donald Glover — brought his dazzling 'New World Tour' to Brooklyn on Monday, and even had a guest spot from Shaboozey.
This latest round is the self-proclaimed “final” project from his Childish Gambino persona and involves his latest album, the excellent “Bando Stone and the New World,” a forthcoming film of the same name, a re-release of his equally excellent “3.15.2020” album — which he rush-released in the early days of the pandemic but has remixed, revamped and retitled “Atavista” — and, possibly most elaborate of all, this “New World Tour” that alighted at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center Monday for the first of a two-night stand. Most dazzling of all, above the end of the walkway, was a sort of giant crystal cloud comprised of a couple hundred icicle-like rods that lit up in synchronized sequences and rose and descended throughout the show. Glover took the stage promptly at 9:15, emerging in a sort of space suit, complete with helmet, surrounded by curtains of lights; he looked like a member of Daft Punk in “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” But after performing the new album’s opening track, “ ,” he removed the suit and talked affably with the audience as he walked through the aisles to the front stage, telling everyone to enjoy themselves and, even though they’re New Yorkers, not worry too much about looking cool.
