WATCH: Childish Gambino: “Sober”

Posted on January 12, 2015March 13, 2015 by DeShonna Johnson

Childish Gambino is known for making music that is definitely not average. With the release of his October 2014 EP Kauai/gangsta grillz mixtape STN MTN (standing for Stone Mountain, Georgia, his hometown), Gambino doesn’t disappoint.

Today, the video for one Kauai track -“Sober” – was released, and it includes the same film-making techniques – like shooting from innovative angles and quirky Gambino acting that fans have seen in past videos – especially for because the internet tracks.  The video revolves around an extremely high Gambino trying to woo a girl in an empty restaurant with some pretty sweet moves to go in tune with the catchy, elevator-esque beat that makes “Sober.” There is a change in tempo in the song to a harder, more bass-boosted beat and includes Gambino killing some dances moves on a table.

The pursuit for the girl doesn’t end so well for Gambino though – she finally dances a step, then grabs her to-go order and leaves Gambino back in the same spot he was when the video began. Sad, high, and alone.

It’s okay, Gambino. That was one of the sickest finger moon-walks I’ve ever seen. Check out “Sober” for yourself below!
