Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterful homage to 1970s P-Funk and psychedelic soul, co-produced by Donald Glover and Ludwig Göransson. The track is famous for Glover's uncharacteristically high, heavily compressed falsetto performance, which many listeners initially mistook for a female guest vocalist or a pitch-shifted sample. Heavily featured in the opening of Jordan Peele's film 'Get Out', it cemented Gambino's pivot away from standard rap into highly ambitious R&B.
