Summer Pack by Childish Gambino

Summer Pack, the third EP from Donald Glover in his Childish Gambino guise, dropped on July 11, 2018, through Wolf+Rothstein, Liberator Music and RCA, with no warning beyond a social-media shrug after it was already out. It landed in the same year as "This Is America" and two years on from "Awaken, My Love!", and it's a small thing by design: just 2 songs, "Summertime Magic" and "Feels Like Summer".

Glover produced it with his longtime partner Ludwig Göransson, and both tracks trade the funk-psychedelic heat of the last album for something breezier and hazier, sunlit and a little wistful, the kind of music that sounds best with the windows down and nowhere in particular to be. "Feels Like Summer" is the one that drifted onto countdowns.
