'This Is America' Wins
Song of the Year
at 2019 Grammys Written and performed
by Childish Gambino,
aka Donald Glover, the video for
the song also took video of the year. Glover didn't
attend the
ceremony. The striking video for
"This Is America" quickly went
viral after its release in May. Directed by Hiro Murai,
it features Glover dancing
through a warehouse while brutal scenes of violence
take place around him. The video serves as a striking commentary on the black experience in America. His song "Redbone" won a
Grammy in 2018 for best
traditional R&B performance.
