Childish Gambino Previews New Track 'Is It Love?' Featuring Ravyn Lenae
Summary
Childish Gambinorecently teased a new song titled 'Is It Love?' featuringRavyn Lenaeon Gilga Radio, a platform created byDonald Gloverhimself as a space to debut and promote his musical projects. Although Glover had hinted at retiring the Childish Gambino moniker for years, he confirmed in mid-2024 — around the release ofBando Stone and the New World— that the persona was no longer fulfilling and would officially conclude with that album.
However, the release of this snippet has sparked speculation that the Childish Gambino moniker may not be retired just yet — or that the track could be part of theBando Stonesoundtrack.
The preview runs just under two minutes and features soothing R&B vocals layered over soft acoustic instrumentation. Lenae's ethereal, distinct voice adds a neo-soul quality to the track, complemented by jazzy drum patterns, warm keyboard chords, and ambient synthesizers. Its relaxed, soulful tone carries a similar vibe to 'Steps Beach,' a previously released track from theBando Stoneand the New Worldsoundtrack. The track adds another layer to Glover's evolving creative universe, leaving fans curious about what's coming next.
