Abstract

• Infantile Gambino previews “Is It Love?” with Ravyn Lenae, mixing acoustic soul, jazz and ambient R&B parts

Infantile Gambino not too long ago teased a brand new tune titled “Is It Love?” that includes Ravyn Lenae on Gilga Radio, a platform created by Donald Glover himself as an area to debut and promote his musical initiatives. Though Glover had hinted at retiring the Infantile Gambino moniker for years, he confirmed in mid-2024 — across the launch of Bando Stone and the New World — that the persona was now not fulfilling and would formally conclude with that album.

Nonetheless, the discharge of this snippet has sparked hypothesis that the Infantile Gambino moniker might not be retired simply but — or that the observe could possibly be a part of the Bando Stone soundtrack.

The preview runs just below two minutes and options soothing R&B vocals layered over comfortable acoustic instrumentation. Lenae’s ethereal, distinct voice provides a neo-soul high quality to the observe, complemented by jazzy drum patterns, heat keyboard chords, and ambient synthesizers. Its relaxed, soulful tone carries an analogous vibe to “Steps Seashore,” a beforehand launched observe from the Bando Stone and the New World soundtrack. The observe provides one other layer to Glover’s evolving inventive universe, leaving followers interested in what’s coming subsequent.

Hearken to the snippet, initially premiered on Gilga Radio, under.
