In the middle of his appearance as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” over the weekend, Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) dropped a video for a new song that veers between comedy, commentary and surrealism called ‘This Is America.’
Directed by Hiro Murai, the political visual shows Glover manically dancing in a large warehouse while chaotic scenes unfold behind and because of him. In the video’s closing moments, SZA makes an appearance, sitting on a car and looking briefly at the camera.
‘This Is America’ marks the first new music Gambino has dropped since the release of his Grammy-nominated album “Awaken, My Love!” late in 2016, and has said that this upcoming album will be his last under the moniker.
