Childish Gambino Dares Fans, “If My Tour Isn’t the Best Show You’ve Ever Seen, I’ll Refund You!”
Childish Gambino is raising the bar for live performances with a bold promise for his upcoming New World Tour. During an appearance on Hot Ones, Gambino vowed to give fans their money back if his show isn’t the “best live show” they’ve ever seen. Kicking off next month in Oklahoma City, the tour is set to be a spectacular experience, entirely dedicated to the fans.
“This last sunset walk is really about, this is for the fans,” Gambino emphasized. “This is for you. If this isn’t the best live show you’ve ever seen, after the song if you’re like ‘Yeah, I gotta go,’ you can leave and I will give you your money back. That’s how much I care about all of this. That’s not a joke. My lawyers will be like, ‘It’s a joke.’ But it’s not a joke.”
The tour will feature music from his highly anticipated and final studio album, Bando Stone & the New World, which also serves as the soundtrack to his upcoming film of the same name. Fans can expect special guest appearances from Amaarae and Willow on select dates. This tour marks Gambino’s return to the stage since 2019.
In his Hot Ones interview, Gambino also delves into his experiences on the sitcom Community, the legacy of Childish Gambino, and more. His final album, Bando Stone & the New World, dropped on Friday and includes collaborations with Chlöe, Flo Milli, Yeat, and others. Earlier this year, he re-released his album 3.15.20 under the name Atavista.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
