Childish Gambino new song 'Melrose' debuts on Twitter, rapper releases new 'Because the Internet' track in message to Jhené Aiko [LISTEN/DOWNLOAD]

We all know Gambino is a mastermind, and as Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover) preps the release of his mysterious sophomore album Because the Internet, the rapper debuted a new song "Melrose" sneakily on his Twitter account.

In a simple tweet to pop singer/"Bed Peace" collaborator Jhené Aiko, Childish Gambino (@DonaldGlover) wrote "here" alongside a like to a SendSpace file. Clicking on the link led to a download page for a track called "Melrose," a new offering from Because the Internet.

"Someone gave you all my love, baby / All my love, all my love," Gambino sings repeatedly in the opening moments of the song with the backing of a slow, slightly somber piano. Simple chords and flourished notes mark the beginning of the track until "Melrose" shifts into a more upbeat, funky contemporary jazz instrumental.

Besides the "Someone gave you all my love" refrains, which occasionally pop up throughout the track, "Melrose" maintains its instrumental status. Strings and small dazzlings of synthesizer beats help to round out the track as Gambino occasionally croons out about his broken heart.

"Melrose" is the latest track to be revealed from Gambino's second LP Because the Internet. Previously, the rapper has released "Worldstar," "3005" and the freestyle rap "Yaphet Kotto," which dropped when Gambino first announced Because the Internet.

The album is reportedly due out Dec. 10.
