The track showcases an effortless chemistry between two artists that have been working together musically for years
While Los Angeles artist and producer meija is an artist who has a reputation as a frequent collaborator who has elevated many tracks of other artists, which makes it a refreshing change of pace that the engrossing artist has instead had JAWNY appear on a track of its own, showcasing an effortless sense of chemistry and charm throughout the duration of new single ‘MAGIC’.
The track has a laid-back and low-key feel to it throughout, instead placing its emphasis on the thoughtful and engrossing lyrics that paint an earnest and thoughtful story that surrounds different facets of the artist’s life and his outlook. There is a really engrossing and likeable charm to the sound throughout, and the distinctive sense of vibe and atmosphere that is created really compliments the more raw and grounded nature of the writing.
meija explains, “’MAGIC’ is probably the most autobiographical song I’ve ever written. Verse 1 basically sums up the last ten years of my life. At its core, it’s a song about trying to find the beauty in the everyday. Even in my hardest times, there’s always been something good. I just haven’t always looked for it. I’ve worked with JAWNY a lot and I played him ‘MAGIC’ when we were in the studio one day, and we started talking about the song and what magic meant to him. It then felt like an obvious choice to put that conversation we just had in the song with a verse sung by him.”
JAWNY adds, “Me and meija have worked together on music together for years now and it was inevitable that one day we would do something together. We had a loose idea that we were gonna collaborate on a song together for the next Meija record but nothing had happened naturally yet. One day while in the studio on a break, I asked Jamie if he wouldn’t mind sharing some song ideas from his next record with me. The second I heard the first bounce idea of magic, I knew this was the song we needed to collaborate on.”
