Childish Gambino has been a bit ghost as of late, but today he (or some very resourceful maven of the internets) has leaked his contribution to the forthcoming Magic Mike sequel, in which he also stars. Bino's contribution is a rather lovely, synth-infused take on Bruno Mars' wedding bell ballad "Marry You," in which the enigmatic creative powerhouse struts his falsetto over bright beds of warm keys and what sounds like an energetic Linndrum program. Short and tender, the artist formerly known as Donald Glover will have you right in his pocket with this highly enjoyable take, which might just hold you over until he decides to drop a new album on us to follow-up his brilliant Because The Internet LP and the subsequent STN MTN/kauai tapes, which bore at least two prime left-leaning r&b joints in the intoxicating pop-tuned "Sober" and its very Neptunes-esque counterpart "The Palisades." Stream Childish Gambino's cover of "Marry You" below, along with the full list of his forthcoming UK and Australian tour dates.
