Magic!
Magic! came out of Toronto with a sound built around reggae rhythms and pop hooks, and it worked fast: "Rude," the lead single from their debut, topped charts around the world in 2014 and turned the band into a radio fixture almost overnight. Behind the hit, the group leans on a relaxed rock-reggae groove that nods to acts like the Police without losing its own sunny, easygoing feel.
