MAGELLA - Control (Unreleased)
Concert Review
“Against a background loop consisting of a heartbeat created by tapping the mic to her leg and her ethereal siren call, her richly melodic voice stole all of our hearts within the first five minutes. Her most surreal song, “Neptune” pairs jazzy guitar riffs and dreamlike synth parts to recreate the night sky in the most beautiful of soundscapes.”

PRESS
““Dark, brooding vibes permeate every tune on The Pearl, with experimentation in genre‑blending making this an album I plan to keep listening to beyond publishing these words.””
“Magella is full of soul (just check out her Checkmate album), but what separates her style from many is her operatic vocal refrains that scream someone like Nina Simone. ”
““you can easily picture her taking the stage at the nightclub in the final season of Twin Peaks, with all
the attendant tension and transcendence.””
