MAGIC!'s debut album will be released sometime in June 2014. It's preceded by the hit lead single, "Rude" and the follow-up single, "Don't Kill the Magic", is climbing up Australian charts currently. They have also released a teaser for a song called "No Way No".

I keep thinking it's Miguel singing the song whenever I hear the song on the radio. Best of luck to them, hoping they don't become a one-hit Pop wonder (of which there's so many bands in recent years - Foster the People, Capital Cities, 3OH!3, Grouplove, Youngblood Hawke).

You can pre-order the album at $6.99 (US), that's a steal if you ask me.

Hoping the rest of the album has similar vibes as "Rude". If so, it'll be a fantastic summer album.

I really like Rude and Don't Kill the Magic plus the teaser for No Way No sounds good. I like their sound. Definitely Reggae but not too Reggae that it can't appeal to the masses. I like the lead singers voice, too. It kind of sounds like a little bit of everything, he could probably sing any genre.
From the clips on iTunes, Let Your Hair Down sounds so sexy. Love it. This is an album I definitely would love to have. I wish it came out before I head to the beach at the end of June. Maybe it will leak by then so I can put in my headphones and relax on the white sands. Perfect album for it.

Saw Magic! live at Pittsburgh Pride on Saturday night. They were amazing, really kept the crowd going and played a lot of songs off their new album. I see a lot of potential for the album. "No Evil" is very catchy and I can definitely see it becoming a hit single. "Paradise" also has single potential. I'm looking forward to this album.

I previewed the album, and it's nice and all, but I just can't get into "Rude" :( Personally like "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool"

Is their album releasing at the same time in the U.S. and Canada? Just curious. If it leaks or is available online somewhere, please PM me. I AM GOING TO BUY IT. I just want to take a copy with me to the beach but that's a few days before it releases in the U.S.

Thanks. I will be at the beach until July 2nd so that gives me a couple of days with the album. I thought it was releasing later than a day after June 30th in the US, though.

I don't see the album doing all that great to be honest. I think it will perform OK the first week but won't stick around long. They strike me as being on the precipice of one hit wonder-dom.

Took a first listen last night and I was kind of surprised, considering Nasri's history, at how samey the album was. They really took the island vibe and ran with it, huh? We'll see if continued listens cause it to grow on me.

Rude - A No Evil - B- Let Your Hair Down - B- Stupid Me - C No Way No - C+ Paradise - B- Don't Kill the Magic - C
And I don't even feel like finishing it. It's like 1 hour long song.

I agree with everyone, it does sound like one hour long song. The only ones that really sound different than "Rude", is "Don't Kill the Magic", "One Woman One Man", and "How Do You Want to Be Remembered" and to me, those sound similar to each other. I'm still buying the album because I believe it's a steal for $6.99, but it will probably burn on everyone that buys it. People will like it this summer, forget about it this winter.

All Music gives the album 2.5/5 stars:
As people have already mentioned, the album is VERY samey, but I like a handful of tracks from it. I think "Don't Kill the Magic" is the only logical second single for the US. Everything else would just be looked at as a second-rate "Rude."

I completed my album on iTunes...it is good, but yes a bit same-y. My early favorites are Stupid Me, No Way No, and Paradise. Don't Kill the Magic is good as well.
