Rihanna doesn't sing in Guava Island, but it will feature several Childish Gambino remixes
Aux Features Film
Guava Island, the long-teased collaborative film from Childish Gambino, Rihanna, and Atlanta director Hiro Murai, will stream for free via Amazon beginning at 12:01 a.m. PT on Saturday. Per a new report in The Hollywood Reporter, fans can expect the 54-minute project to blend animation and live action sequences with music, specifically restaged and remixed versions of Childish Gambino hits like “This Is America,” “Summertime Magic,” and “Feels Like Summer.”
What it won’t feature, strangely, is a vocal performance from Rihanna, who reportedly doesn’t participate in any of the musical numbers. Instead, she serves as a narrator, guiding viewers through a plot that follows Donald Glover’s Deni romantic pursuit of Rihanna’s Kofi, as well as his efforts to “unite the squabbling citizens of his tiny island” with music. That results in a potential music festival, and an island tycoon named Red (Nonso Anozie) who’d like to squash it. Glover has said it was inspired by films like Purple Rain and City of God. Stay tuned for our review this weekend.

You know who we’ve got in this project? Steven Spielberg! You know what we’ve got him doing? Painting!
I am a simple man. I see the name Hiro Murai, I watch the thing it’s on.
I don’t mind Rhianna as a narrator because I like it when she slips into her island accent.
I really don’t give two fucks about this hipster bullshit. I like Dong Lover as much as the next guy, but I hate the personality he puts on with this Childish Gambino shit. I have a very negative reaction to anyone who insists on telling or proving to me or cool or sexy they are. Fuck outta here with that shit. I find his Earn/Troy Barnes side much more appealing.That said, I’ll probably watch this this weekend.
Lmao you ok bro?
DO I LOOK FUCKING OKAY TO YOU BRO?
Sounds like you’ve some self-esteem issues and feel rather insecure when others express a strong confidence you lack my guy
No, I’m perfectly confident telling someone to fuck off when they’re being a cocky little bitch, thanks very much.So fuck off, you cocky little bitch. See? Just like that, my dude.
