Childish Gambino has blessed us with two new songs, “Summertime Magic” and “Feels Like Summer.”

Donald Glover, otherwise known as his musical alter ego Childish Gambino, has just delivered his breezy new summer songs on Wednesday, July 11th. These releases were unexpected and follow “This is America,” an artistic and terrifying song and video about the horror of the modern world.

The two songs are a part of Summer Pack and contrast his previous release. They are melodic, beachy, and have pop undertones. “Summertime Magic” is the first track that has pulled inspiration from the Caribbean; it is a joyful beat with tropical steel pan. “Feels like Summer” has an echoey, foggy sound.

In a press release an hour after the songs had dropped, “Summertime Magic” was declared as “the first official single from Gambino’s forthcoming debut album” through RCA Records.

Glover has erased his Twitter and Instagram accounts–a sign that a celebrity is clearing their media for a major project–only posting about the new tunes.
