Black Magic

This is a limited pressing PRE-ORDER. Expected to ship, be picked up or hand delivered the week of April 26, 2026.

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.

All purchases come with a digital download.

  • Heavyweight red vinyl pressing

  • Sleeve personally autographed by Quiana Lynell

Quiana Lynell is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, international award-winning jazz vocalist, and dynamic live performer whose artistry bridges tradition, storytelling, and modern soul. Rooted in the rich musical soil of Louisiana and shaped by more than two decades of professional performance and education experience, Lynell brings both technical mastery and emotional depth to every stage she steps on.

Lynell rose to international prominence after winning the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, a career-defining honor that positioned her among the leading voices of her generation. Known for its rigorous standards and global reach, the competition celebrates vocalists who embody the spirit, innovation, and virtuosity of jazz. Lynell’s win affirmed what audiences had already begun to recognize: a commanding voice paired with fearless interpretive skill.

Most recently, Lynell toured nationally in a 10-week run with Jazz at Lincoln Center, one of the world’s most respected jazz institutions. Performing on stages across the country, she delivered electrifying sets that highlighted her range—from tender ballads to groove-driven, hip-swaying originals that have earned her the nickname “The Hip Shakin’ Momma.” Her work with Jazz at Lincoln Center reflects her standing as a torchbearer of the art form and a compelling ambassador for live performance.
