On Wednesday night’s Tonight Show, Childish Gambino/Donald Glover stood shirtless in the shadows—attempting a heavily Prince and D’Angelo inspired red-lit setup—to perform his funk slow jam “Redbone,” a standout track from his album Awaken My Love. The vocals fall into labored territory at points, giving the performance a light feeling of pastiche, but Gambino does nail the lustful gospel wails toward the end.
