This is America
Donald Glover released this song under his musical alter-ego ‘Childish Gambino’. As soon as it was released it launched a storm of conversation on social media and quickly became one of the most trending and viewed music videos on YouTube
This is America is cryptic and loaded with shocking imagery and metaphors. The video is directed by Hiro Murai and choreographed by Sherrie Silver, the music video touches on gun violence and how we have historically used entertainment to distract us from pervasive cultural and political problems.
A powerful song, a rythm that sticks with you and a video that you will not forget ‘This is America’ is a true musical masterpiece.
