Kauai by Childish Gambino
Kauai is an EP by Childish Gambino, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Sober”, on 1 list with a best position of #31.
Kauai is the sunny half of a two-part package from Childish Gambino, the music alter ego of Donald Glover, the actor and writer best known then as Troy Barnes on Community. The STN MTN mixtape went up as a free download on DatPiff on October 2, 2014, and the Kauai EP followed in stores the next day on Glassnote, with the two meant to be heard as opposite sides of one concept record with a single story running through it. It landed ten months after his second album, Because the Internet.
The EP is the gentler of the two, soft-focus and breezy, with a warmth in its chords that sounds more like a beach at dusk than a street corner. "Sober", its moody standout, crossed over to the alternative countdowns.
