A stark departure from his previous hip-hop projects, Donald Glover's third studio album is a deep dive into 1970s psychedelic soul and funk. Heavily inspired by the sounds of Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly & The Family Stone, the album utilizes live instrumentation and raw vocal performances to create a warm, analog-infused soundscape. The project was both a critical and commercial success, with its standout single 'Redbone' achieving widespread acclaim and cultural resonance.
