Shaun Royal Takes It Back To The ’90s With Smooth New Single “Coast In Romance”

South Central Los Angeles artist Shaun Royal has just dropped his new single “Coast In Romance,” a soulful R&B track that serves as a throwback to the golden era of ’90s slow jams while maintaining a contemporary edge.

Royal’s latest offering showcases his smooth vocal delivery as he explores the nuances of a deep romantic connection. The track’s chorus perfectly captures its essence: “We can go up and down in motion / When you hear the beat and ride the moment / We can take our time just like a slow jam / We can coast in romance.” Royal blends nostalgic R&B sensibilities with modern production for a sound that feels both familiar and fresh.

This release follows Royal’s impressive performance at Los Angeles’ Taste of Soul Festival, where he debuted the track to over 10,000 attendees alongside acts like Tiffany Haddish and Klymaxx. Royal’s journey in music began at age five, with influences ranging from Michael Jackson to Stevie Wonder and Tevin Campbell clearly evident in his emotional delivery and soulful approach.

The single arrives with an accompanying music video that complements the song’s romantic atmosphere with visuals that enhance its cinematic quality. As co-founder of Shaun Royal Productions, the artist has been busy collaborating with producers including Jemell Moore, Troy Johnson, and Brian the Brain, creating a catalog that bridges R&B’s past and future.

For Royal, who previously earned a standing ovation at the 28th Annual Soul Train Awards for his rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Lady in My Life,” this new single represents his ongoing mission to revitalize the essence of ’90s R&B for contemporary audiences.
