Childish Gambino returns with a new song titled Algorythm. Available for download and streaming, Childish Gambino delivers his latest record just after his collaborative move Guava Island. During his first of two headlining sets at this month’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Childish Gambino asked the crowd to put their phones away.
While the track “Algorythm” has been a staple of Gambino’s live performances during his This Is America tour, the app will offer fans their first opportunity to hear the song from the comfort of their own home — or at least from a portal to another dimension that opens on their mobile phones.
“This is not a concert; this is church,” Donald Glover, the man behind Gambino, explained.
During his performance, Gambino encouraged music fans to grab their phones and download PHAROS AR — a new augmented reality app released Wednesday (April 24) for Android and iOS users.
Billed as “the world’s first cross-platform, multiplayer AR music experience,” the app is but the latest innovation for Glover following the Coachella premiere of Guava Island — a film that he secretly shot with Rihanna in Cuba last summer.
In typical Gambino fashion, the app is light on instruction and instead encourages users to explore the augmented terrain of PHAROS AR on their own or with up to three friends. While no headsets are required to enjoy the experience, Stumbo does recommend a good pair of headphones to fully appreciate the spatialized audio loops that eventually build to the full track.
