Lindsay Ell, the Canadian country-pop singer-songwriter, has released her new single “Magic,” the lead track from her upcoming EP Fence Sitter, which is due in October. The upbeat, pop-tinged song is a hopeful anthem about following one’s dreams while capturing Ell’s renewed confidence.
In “Magic,” Ell proclaims, “I still believe in magic,” turning the title into a mantra of perseverance. She explains that the song serves as “a reminder to believe that you just need to keep going and you’ll find those moments of joy and accomplishment.” This optimistic outlook is reflected in the song’s sound: a bright melody and gentle guitar licks underline its positive message, while Ell’s virtuoso guitar work adds an extra spark to the arrangement.
The single fits into Ell’s evolving musical journey. After last year’s introspective EP Love Myself, where she shared her healing process, “Magic” and the forthcoming Fence Sitter signal a new chapter focused on empowerment and authenticity. Having taken full creative control of her work, Ell is stepping boldly into this next phase.
