Summary

  • Childish Gambino previews “Is It Love?” with Ravyn Lenae, blending acoustic soul, jazz and ambient R&B elements
  • The unreleased track sparks speculation about his musical future and ties to Bando Stone and the New World
  • With no official release confirmed, the song may remain a Gilga Radio exclusive for now

Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, recently hinted at a new song called “Is It Love?” featuring Ravyn Lenae on Gilga Radio, a platform he created to showcase his musical endeavors. Despite rumors of retiring the Childish Gambino persona for years, Glover officially announced in mid-2024, around the release of Bando Stone and the New World , that this character was no longer satisfying and would come to an end with that album.

Nevertheless, the unveiling of this fragment has ignited discussions about whether the Childish Gambino alias is still in use, or if the song might appear on the Bando Stone soundtrack – hinting at its potential continuity.

The preview lasts approximately two minutes and showcases gentle R&B tunes blended with subtle acoustic sounds. Lenae’s otherworldly, unique voice infuses the piece with a modern soul feel, enhanced by jazz-inspired drumbeats, comforting keyboard harmonies, and atmospheric synthesizers. The track’s laidback, soulful atmosphere resembles “Steps Beach,” a song from the Bando Stone and the New World soundtrack that was released earlier. This new addition to Glover’s creative realm leaves fans eager for more and wondering what will come next.

Listen to the snippet, originally premiered on Gilga Radio, below.
