The rising wave of new global talent just got louder as SobaSmokey releases his mesmerizing new single MAGIC, a track built on atmospheric textures and fearless emotion that marks another bold step for the 19 year old artist whose sound naturally stretches beyond borders. With a life shaped between continents and languages, SobaSmokey carries an instinctive understanding of mood and storytelling that sets him apart from many artists twice his age.
Born in Toronto and raised in Barcelona, he moves through the world with a multilingual voice that includes English, Russian, French, Spanish, Catalan, and German. Those cultural layers breathe through his music, giving every phrase a sense of movement and depth. From early years spent at the piano and guitar to his teenage poems that evolved into full songs, he has always treated music as a place to pour his thoughts on love, family, confusion, and youth.
MAGIC continues that evolution with a sound rooted in trap and alternative R&B, supported by heavy 808s, drifting synths, and the kind of nighttime atmosphere that feels both cinematic and intimate. The track pulls listeners into a world where desire and uncertainty live side by side. His voice moves between calm self assurance and quiet unraveling, creating a tension that feels real, human, and beautifully unfiltered.
Shaped by influences like Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, Don Toliver, The Weeknd’s early era, Bryson Tiller, Mac Miller, and jazz legend Oscar Peterson, he blends these sounds into what he calls psychedelic emotion, an ever shifting mix of rap, trap, R&B, indie, and rock. With three albums and two EPs already behind him, SobaSmokey continues to lean into authenticity instead of perfection, choosing atmosphere and honesty over artificial shine.
What makes MAGIC even more striking is how naturally it reveals his growth. The song unfolds with a slow burning pull, and his performance shows a new level of confidence and emotional clarity. He glides through the production with smooth control, weaving gentle vulnerability into every line. The track feels immersive from the very first note, mixing warmth, tension, and introspective energy in a way that lingers long after the final beat. It is a standout moment that highlights his ability to create richly layered music that resonates deeply, and it confirms that SobaSmokey is becoming one of the most compelling young voices shaping the future of modern sound.
