Hear Donald Glover’s Bruno Mars Cover From ‘Magic Mike XXL’

By Tom Williams

Actor/writer/comedian/musician Donald Glover has released a cover of Bruno Mars’ Marry You under his actual name, and not his rap pseudonym Childish Gambino.

Glover’s short but super-smooth take on Marry You (below) is taken from the soundtrack to Magic Mike XXL, the forthcoming film which stars a sometimes shirtless Glover as Andre.

Earlier this year, Glover hinted at ending his Childish Gambino project, but went on to perform a soulful new track at Bonnaroo last month.

Glover’s latest Childish Gambino album, Because The Internet, was released in 2013, and he’ll be in the country this September and October to perform at Listen Out 2015.

Catch Glover’s Marry You cover in full, below. The Magic Mike XXL soundtrack is out now, and also features songs by the likes of R. Kelly, Glass Animals and Backstreet Boys.
