Donald Glover's had quite the busy 2016, working on much-lauded TV series Atlanta and warming up for 2018's unnamed Han Solo origin film.

But that hasn't stopped him from releasing music under his alias, Childish Gambino. His newest album Awaken, My Love dropped on Friday, because he wants you to have a good weekend.

The album is a long-awaited follow up to 2013's Because The Internet, and will also be available on a newfangled "virtual reality vinyl" for $59.99, if you're into that.

What's it like? Word is you'll hear strong influences from seminal funk group Parliament and Funkadelic.

Anyway, enough talking. It's time to listen some fine baby-making music.
