Koreami editorial team discovered DANE last March when the splendid “She Said” was released. It was love at first listen. We wrote about him (here, also in English) and haven’t stopped listening since: his discography isn’t extensive (yet), but it’s certainly promising and already very strong.
Today marks the release of his “Magic!“, an enchanting track that with a romantic and dreamy atmosphere. Belonging to the contemporary R&B genre with clear pop influences, musically it stands out for its rich sound, characterized by warm melodic lines and a delicate expressiveness.
DANE himself handled the arrangement and played synthesizers, keyboard, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums, contributing to an emotional and fresh production, under the supervision of executive producer BOYTOY. The lyrics, co-written with Riaan, his labelmate, and Gen Neo, evoke the thrilling moments of the very first stages of falling in love, set to a melody as sweet as warm summer night: the perfect track for this season.
So, here we go with Magic! lyrics and our Italian translation!
Magic!
La scorsa notte quando ti ho vista
Ho pensato che il mio mondo iniziasse a cambiare
Forse erano i drink che avevo bevuto
Ma mi hai comunque tolto il fiato
Questa estate potrebbe essere più di una semplice fase
Mi colpisci in ogni modo
Possiamo fare un ballo?
Con quella canzone anni ’80 che hai messo
Voglio solo mostrarti la magia
Solo per una volta possiamo andare piano
Scommetto ti piacerà, puoi immaginarlo?
Chiudi gli occhi
Voglio solo renderla un classico
Come la canzone che continuavamo a mettere
Scommetto ti piacerà, puoi immaginarlo?
Chiudi gli occhi
Ti ho appena inviato un messaggio
Non voglio sembrare banale
Incolpa pure l’Hennessy
Sto solo cercando un modo
Per essere proprio dove sei tu
Questa estate potrebbe darci la possibilità di rimanere
Non lasciamo tutte quelle parole non dette
Non fare un passo indietro
Io farò due passi avanti
Voglio solo mostrarti la magia
Solo per una volta, possiamo andare piano
Scommetto ti piacerà, puoi immaginarlo?
Chiudi gli occhi
Voglio solo renderla un classico
Come la canzone che continuavamo a mettere
Scommetto ti piacerà, puoi immaginarlo?
Chiudi gli occhi (x3)
Magic!
Last night when I saw you
I thought my world start to change
Maybe it’s the drinks I had
You still took my breath away
This summer could be more than just a phase
You move me in every way
Can we take one dance
Can we take one dance
To that 80’s song you played
I just want to show you the magic
Just for once, we can take it slow
Bet you’ll like it, can you imagine
Close your eyes
I just want to make it a classic
Like the song we kept playin’ on
Bet you’ll like it, can you imagine
Close your eyes
Just sent you a message
I’m not tryin to sound cliché
Blame it on Hennessy
Just try to find a way
To be right where you are
This summer could give us the chance to stay
Don’t leave all those words unsaid
Don’t take one step back
I’ll take two more steps ahead
I just want to show you the magic
Just for once, we can take it slow
Bet you’ll like it, can you imagine
Close your eyes
I just want to make it a classic
Like the song we kept playin’ on
Bet you’ll like it, can you imagine
Close your eyes (x3)
