El Michels Affair – Mágica feat. Rogê
El Michels Affair teams up with Brazilian singer Rogê for “Mágica,” delivering New York coolness with Brazilian warmth in just two and a half minutes. Leon Michels brings his orchestral production style, while Rogê’s vocals add a sunny disposition that makes this collaboration enjoyable.
The track sits between psychedelic soul and samba, with retro bossa elements that feel both kitsch and genuinely engaging. It’s the kind of smooth groove that works whether you’re actually on holiday or just pretending during a grey workday.
“Mágica” comes from the upcoming album “24 Hr Sports,” due September 5th on Big Crown Records. The collaboration follows their recent work with Clairo on “Charm,” with Clairo returning the favor on their single “Anticipate.” With Leon Michels steering the project, the album promises more carefully crafted blend of international influences and New York studio polish.
