MAGIC!

Toronto's MAGIC! is back with their self-released single "Inner Love Energy." It's the first new music in four years and will be on the band's forthcoming fourth album. 

The new single is about finding love within yourself. Lead singer Nasri said, "'Inner Love Energy' is the light in all of us that sees the world through the lens of a glass half full. It’s an upbeat 'get ya day started' boost of positive reassurance. It’s the soul's cup of coffee!" 

Drawing heavy influences from artists such as The Police, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Marley, MAGIC! was formed in 2012 by Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Nasri (lead vocals), Mark Pelli (guitar), Ben Spivak (bass), and Alex Tanas (drums). The band announced a year ago that drummer Alex Tanas left the band.

MAGIC! is most well-known for their 2014 breakout debut single "Rude" Recently, the track surpassed one billion streams on SPOTIFY. The band was previously signed to RCA Records and released the following three albums: Expectations (2018), Primary Colours (2016), and Don't Kill the Magic (2014).

Following the release of their last album and five years of continuous touring, the members of MAGIC! decided to take a break and focus on solo projects. Nasri and longtime collaborator Adam Messinger have since written and produced for some of music’s biggest names including Justin Bieber, Shakira, Pitbull, Lana Del Ray, Christina Aguilera, and Chris Brown.

During a band dinner in the summer of 2021, MAGIC! came to a realization: the world was in need of some happy music. Beginning in September of 2022, the band began rolling out their first new music in four years. "Ain’t Got Nothin’ Figured Out," a cheery and upbeat homage to the beauty of not having everything figured out, has garnered over 11 million views on Tik Tok. In December 2022, they released another single "Ballerina."
