PITCHFORK CHILDISH GAMBINO CRACK
Crack Magazine recently reported that cinematographer Christian Sprenger, who has also worked with Glover on Atlanta, listed Guava Island as a “visual album” on his resume, leading to speculation that the film might double as the final Childish Gambino album that’s supposedly coming soon.

It was shot in Cuba last year and directed by Hiro Murai, who directs most Childish Gambino music videos (including “This Is America”) and is heavily involved with Glover’s acclaimed TV series Atlanta. Although he’ll go onstage after midnight EDT and his performance will likely continue until after midnight PDT, thereby crossing over into April 13, most would describe the timeframe as “early Saturday morning,” not “Saturday night.” YouTube has not specified when the Guava Island livestream will air, but a press release describes it as a “one-time premiere.”īesides Glover and Rihanna, Guava Island also stars Letitia Wright and Nonso Anozie.

The ads indicate Guava Island will premiere “SATURDAY NIGHT | April 13.” Gambino’s headlining performance is Friday, April 12. Gambino, of course, is one of this year’s Coachella headliners, which contributed to the wave of speculation when Guava Island ads began appearing on Spotify last week. As Pitchfork points out, YouTube confirmed today that Guava Island will be part of its livestream from Coachella’s first weekend. Glover premiered a trailer for the project at his PHAROS festival in New Zealand last November, and now it looks like the film will premiere this weekend. Guava Island is a new film starring Donald Glover and Robyn Fenty, the multi-hyphenate superstars also known as Childish Gambino and Rihanna.
