Out now, ‘Black Magic’ is the new single from rising artist, Man\u00fak. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Argentina but now based in Sydney, Australia, Man\u00fak’s vocal style is reminiscent of Justin Bieber, while at the same time maintaining a more R&B edge to his style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending smooth R&B melodies with passionate pop lyrics, ‘Black Magic’ takes a deep dive into deeply emotional subject matter, such as desire, enchantment, and the sometimes overwhelming desire to connect with someone. Man\u00fak\u00a0only started his musical journey in 2020, and yet in that time he’s managed to develop a mature sound that would otherwise suggest he’s a veteran in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man\u00fak\u00a0takes hold of his Latin heritage, which is strongly reflected in his music, while at the same time, enhanced by modern pop and R&B influences. His initial dip into the pool of music was a collaboration in 2020 alongside bandleader Dan Fontaine, on the song, ‘Hawai<\/a>‘, showing the range of Man\u00fak’s musical talent. From there he released his first solo effort, the single ‘Overstimulated’, in early 2024, making waves in the R&B and soul scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Black Magic’ is just the first glimpse into what Man\u00fak\u00a0has in store for 2025, and marks an exciting new chapter for both the artists and his listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Black Magic’ is out now and can be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>. You can find out more about Man\u00fak\u00a0and his music online on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, and\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
