* AlbumIntroTrack: The first two minutes of "Me And Your Mama" is a mood-setting choir and keyboards.
* BookEnds: "Me and Your Mama" starts as a quiet, sensual song and escalates into louder, more intense songs before returning to the original quieter sound for the ending.
* CarefulWithThatAxe: As a testament to his vocal prowess (and his larynx strength), he does a '''lot''' of powerful screaming throughout ''"Awaken, My Love!"''. He has said that the inspiration for this element of the album came from how he'd feel a certain way emotionally after hearing a scream when listening to the album ''Maggot Brain''.
* ExcitedShowTitle: ''"Awaken, My Love!"''.
* GratuitousPanning: The end of "Stand Tall".
* NewSoundAlbum: ''"Awaken, My Love!"'' is a throwback to R&B, Motown, and funk, with inspiration taken from artists such as Funkadelic and Music/{{Prince}}.
* NoEnding: "Stand Tall" (and by extent, the whole of ''"Awaken, My Love!"'') ends with him belting a note that gets suddenly cut off before it can finish.
* TextlessAlbumCover: The cover is a photo of model Giannina Oteto wearing a beaded headdress.

''"Awaken, My Love!"'' is the third studio album released by rapper Music/ChildishGambino, aka Creator/DonaldGlover. The album was released on December 2, 2016.

Unlike his previous two HipHop albums, ''"Awaken, My Love!"'' is a {{Funk}} and RAndB album, produced by Childish Gambino and Music/LudwigGoransson. Childish Gambino would later reveal in 2022 that he made the album out of sheer pettiness, to prove a particular critic who criticized his inability to make a hit record. It worked- ''"Awaken, My Love!"'' is Childish Gambino's most commercially successful album, and would be nominated for Album of the Year and several other categories at the Grammy Awards, with the single "Redbone" winning for Best Traditional R&B performance.
