Childish Gambino pushes creative boundaries with a virtual reality performance video of his single “Me And Your Mama.”

Gambino has listeners anticipating his new album Awaken, My Love! which is set to be released this Friday, Dec. 2. But before that, he’s giving us an entire sensory experience.

This past June he organized the three-day PHAROS festival where he performed music from the album. According to a review on OkayPlayer, the show was conducted in a dome in the desert where selfies were not allowed, making people interact with each other and pay attention to the show.

Now, months later, Gambino is welcoming the use of cell phones with the release of a performance video for “Me And Your Mama.” The video can be viewed via the PHAROS app, which is free.In it, Gambino struts onto the stage in a glow-in-the-dark tribal costume backed by a band.

During the video you can tilt the screen back and forth to get a full view of the stage as well as the dome above him.

Download the PHAROS app here for iPhone and Android and check it out for yourself. Of course, you can also pre-order the album via the app as well.
