With their sophomore release, "The Magician," Girl Is The New Boy shows that lightning can strike twice. In the wake of worldwide success with "Fashion Me a Drum," this new single sees their artistry rise above gritty alternative hip-hop and silky neo-soul. The effect is a song that feels both intimate and wide-ranging, like an overdue late-night chat that unexpectedly leads to a revelation.
The production thrives on contrast, roughed-up rhythms brush up against smooth melodies, the track's sound careering with a certain shape-shifting quality that mirrors its name. Girl Is The New Boy arrives with a mix of openness and confidence, evidence that this is an artist who's found their way onto a singular path very early on. You can hear the swagger of a group that knows its sound is echoing around the globe while relying on nobody else's formula. Instead, it leans into artistry, risk-taking, and the thrill of reinvention.
With "The Magician," the audience is immersed in a dimension where the lines between genres, moods, and expectations become an irrelevant distraction. It's a song about change, that moment when music stops being something to listen to and becomes something vibrant that you replay not just to hear it again but also because hearing it makes you feel. Girl Is The New Boy has done it again, and continues to cement their position as one artist to keep a close eye on.
