“ABBA: Vinyl Album Box Set” (10-LP collection includes all their studio albums, plus “ABBA Tracks,” featuring non-album singles and B-sides, with a 40-page booklet pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl Merch Capitol / UMe) » BUY NOW But for now, “ Awaken, My Love!” is an enthralling trip into the land of funk.New vinyl releases and reissues for this week and months ahead. Only time will tell if Childish Gambino has remade himself into the post-millennial D’Angelo. Is “ Awaken, My Love!” just a fantastic conceit? There’s some evidence of that: The themes of “Baby Boy,” which slinks along like an outtake from Sly and the Family Stone’s There’s a Riot Going On, and the Eddie Hazel-like scratch-guitar instrumental “The Night Me and Your Mama Met,” sound as if they could be coming from the mind of Earn Marks, the Princeton dropout, babydaddy and would-be rap manager at the center of Atlanta. When he serenades a girl moving to the Golden State over the kitschy calypso beat of “California,” it adds well-timed comic levity to his heavy soul odyssey. The wah-wah guitars and rolling percussion of “Riot” crackle with psychedelic energy. On “Have Some Love,” he swings with a leisurely gait akin to Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That” as he implores us, “Have some time for one another/Really love one another.” He subtly underlines his excursions with a message: “Stay woke … now don’t you close your eyes,” he cries in a high, Prince-like falsetto on “Redbone,” a spacy boogie exploration that thumps with thick lowrider bass. Whether it’s rocking his best George Clinton impression over the platform boot stomp of “Boogieman,” or delivering a deep-hued spoken word manifesto on “Baby Boy,” Childish Gambino fully inhabits his funkadelic guise.
