Magic Fades – She Beat All The Haters
When I hear the words “Magic Fades” I know I’m in for an audial treat. The recently released single, “She Beat All The Haters” features clandestine, near-falsetto ascending vocals that seem to tip toe alongside robotic hand claps, whispered ahs, and hazy synthesizers. Featuring two new tracks and remixes by Slow Head and Obelisk, it’s avant-nu r&b. Fantastic.
