"Lithonia" arrived on July 2, 2024 as the lead single from Bando Stone & the New World, the fifth Childish Gambino album, and it finds Donald Glover plugging in: a guitar-driven rock song named for Lithonia, Georgia. Glover sings it and plays the drums, Ludwig Göransson handles guitar and keyboards, and the two of them produced it with Max Martin and Michael Uzowuru, all four sharing the writing with Riley Mackin. Stuart White mixed.
Jack Begert's video turns a house show into a horror flick. Gambino fronts a sweat-soaked band, with Göransson on guitar and actor Alex Wolff on drums, until halfway through the song his eyeballs explode and splatter blood over Suzanna Son, cast as one of the onlookers, and an eyeless Gambino chases her out into a forest.
