Childish Gambino - 'Sober' (live for Like A Version)

[@AustinLockGaming]

I've noticed that every time he sings a song he starts out a little shaky but after the first few words he starts getting into it and just dives in and loses himself in the music. It's really a beautiful thing

[@Maddie01022]

That happens to me and many musicians I know ~ I think for me I'm finding that exact tempo but I dont really know

[@anthonyzullo]

hes an artist, and his fellow artists trust that.

[@mattj117]

Sometimes it’s hard to catch the pitch initially

[@wimposquirl3516]

Jamie Northan anyone can sing! No need to be mean.

[@studentlogan]

i may be wrong, but i think some of his songs are tuned up a few hz from standard, and maybe that throws him off whenever he has to perform it in an ever so slightly different tuning

[@nawal8821]

its fascinating how his personality changes when he's acting and when he's singing, like i remember him so silly and loud on Community and here he's so reserved and chill

[@plasmarl6649]

Nawal I’m not sure you understand the concept of acting

[@nawal8821]

Plasma RL i’m talking about the behind the scenes footage from community

[@plasmarl6649]

Nawal then hes not acting, cause it behind the scenes.....

[@xrsizm]

Nawal That’s because he treats Gambino as a different character from the real him.

[@luizfernandohuf1662]

well if you see his old live performances, mainly from Camp phase, you can definitely see the community glover

[@Kashawn232]

He is one of the most talented people in music, I love Gambino.

actor "turned" musician, Bino did it better than Drake. Drake may have more commercial success and might be the bigger star, but Bino has way more respect in Hip-hop Head's hearts.

[@lumpiaseverywhere]

Don't you mean musician turned actor? Unless you count his youtube career as acting I guess, but even then he was more of a rapper.

[@DiabIe37]

Ludwig is such a great producer and arranger. He and Bino together are unstoppable.

[@jameswellington8676]

Bino is an amazing vocalist and writer no doubt! His music speaks and tells such an in depth story resonating with ones soul. But guys lets take a moment to look at the band! What a bassist, the groove is so tight an glues everything together whilst keeping harmonic interest. That organ accompaniment was rock solid and that solo was simply gorgeous harmonically and stylistically. The guitarist fitted in so well, using silence to create space but more harmonic and melodic interest when he began playing again. The solo added so much clarity and interest and those melodic lines in between an accompanying Bino's vocals were class! The texture got soo thick and lush at one point. When we look at a performance like this again remember the session players!!! They make or break this as much as the artist!

[@CARTERWM95]

He is so different live. You can listen to the song both ways and take a different sensation away each time.

[@AdvanCed_OutlAw]

I love how he has a band for his live performances. Just makes him all the more unique.
