Picking Up Girls Gets Trippy In Childish Gambino’s Sober (Video)
For Hip-Hop artists of the moment, is anybody making as alluring videos as Childish Gambino? Donald Glover’s career in film, television, and the performing arts comes to life in so many visual companions to his acclaimed songs. “Sober,” from the STN MTN / Kauai project is no expection.
Set in a dingy restaurant, Childish Gambino steps to a woman sitting alone. In a surreal world, he seemingly cannot communicate properly, or come across in the way that he wishes. Some things work, some things don’t—as the game tends to go.
The narrative visual features some amazing effects, awesome lighting, and a very deliberate unease. Sobriety is definitely the underlying theme, or lack thereof.
Who’s making better videos right now than Gambino?
