Black Magic

Black Magic is Quiana Lynell’s most intentional and personal recording to date — a Louisiana-born blend of New Orleans jazz, classic rhythm & blues, zydeco pulse, gospel soul, and fearless storytelling.

Recorded largely at Memphis’ historic Royal Studios, the album captures the warmth of live musicians, analog energy, and the emotional intensity of songs written in real time about the world we’re living in. This album carries the spirit of the room where icons like Al Green and Tina Turner recorded — and you can feel that history in every note. This record honors the lineage of artists like Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Abbey Lincoln, Aretha Franklin, and Irma Thomas — artists who said what needed to be said, and sang it with truth.

This pressing is for listeners who believe music should be held, signed, collected, and remembered.

From the jazz rite-of-passage joy of “Tweedley Dee”, to the protest soul of “Amerikkan Dream,” to the Mardi Gras-infused spirit of “Black Magic,”
This album moves between groove, message, and musical mastery.
Covers like the bounce-infused “Move Me No Mountain” produced by root the album in tradition while pushing it forward.
