Fans have been loving Childish Gambino’s new track “Redbone,” the second single from his upcoming third album …Awaken, My Love!. With a sound reminiscent of Prince and music that recalls bassist Jaco Pastorius‘ 1976 song “Portrait Of Tracy” and Bootsy Collins’ classic “I’d Rather Be With You” from the same year, “Redbone” has built even more hype for his new album.
Many noticed that the song is pitched up several notches in the beginning, giving Gambino’s voice an entirely new sound. Genius decided to pitch the song back down the original level, revealing the starting point from which the song was created.
You can listen to a pitched-down portion of the song in the video above and read all the lyrics to Childish Gambino’s “Redbone” on Genius now.
