R&B Now

Childish Gambino unravels his desires for a forbidden love on “In the Night,” from his sixth and final album under that name, Bando Stone and the New World. Over warm synths and booming 808s provided by Gambino, Kurtis McKenzie, and DJ Dahi, the atmospheric, dancehall-esque track finds Gambino aware his lover is in a relationship, as he admits in the first verse: “Your man does nothin’ but adore ya/But I wonder, what would he say?” However, that doesn’t stop him from confessing how she appears in his dreams since that’s the only way he can be near her. British singing sensation Jorja Smith and Ghanaian American singer Amaarae join Gambino, offering different POVs on the situation, which includes Smith dropping a shocking plot twist.
