AWAKEN MY LOVE VINYL HEADSET FULL
The full colour record sleeves present what are assumed to be unused album artwork, which are beautifully photographed images of various models in headdresses, similar to the stunning final album artwork. After enough courage is mustered to open it, things are looking very promising. Once it’s home and unwrapped, a quick moment needs to be taken to simply appreciate that it’s physically here. It is now just over 6 months since the initial pre-order of the record, and it’s finally awaiting collection at the post office. After a number of push-backs, a final release date was secured in April, and the end of the painfully confusing long wait was in sight.Įventually, mid-June comes around.
As rumours of a shipping date and VR content poured through over the course of the next few months proceeding the pre-order of the record, excitement was reaching fever pitch. What other artist comes to mind when thinking of album releases that come packed with this sort of thing? Not many. To think that his previous album, Because The Internet, came complete with a 72 page script, this level of ambition and exclusivity should really come as no surprise. So, when it was revealed that it would only be released as a limited edition, £70 boxset, which (expectedly) included two 180gram heavyweight records and (unexpectedly) included a Virtual Reality headset, anticipation and confusion grew and grew. It was a smooth, silky powerful funk/soul record that excelled past it’s peers with sheer inventiveness and influential adaptation that made a vinyl release seem inevitable, especially with it’s 70’s soul music vibe. While not perfect, Awaken, My Love! demonstrated not only his extensive musical knowledge, but also prowess. Ditching the rap and hip-hop previously explored over the course of his previous albums, Glover returned under the same moniker in late 2016 with a new album so far off the beaten track of his career that it just went further to prove that the man can literally do anything.
So, was it all worth it?Ĭhildish Gambino fan or not, there’s something for everyone in this latest album from multi-talented man-of-the-moment Donald Glover.
