Wondaland's ace in the hole is back with a whole new groove
Roman GianArthur and summer are a winning pair. Years back, the core Wondaland member stormed our seasonal rotations with the slinky disco cut "I-69," landing crucial co-writing credits on projects from Janelle Monae and Jidenna in more recent years.

And though he's been quiet for the better part of the last few years (with the exception of his D'Angelo/Radiohead mash-up, OK LADY) the multi-instrumentalist appears to be ready for his time in the shine. He has a seductive new single out, "Real Love, No Shade," which admittedly missed us in its first few days of liberation. So excuse the late pass, but you're gonna want this slow-burner on the dial for both poolside and bedside accompaniment.
