Royale Lynn - BLACK MAGIC (2025)
Black Magic introduces Royale Lynn as a magnetic new voice fusing alt-metal punch with country-rooted melodicism. Its 12 tracks, inspired by mental-health struggles and lore like Pandora’s Box, channel emotional intensity into accessible, hook-driven compositions. Highlights like “E.V.I.L.” and the title track seamlessly marry atmospheric piano build-ups with crushing riffs. While the album occasionally leans into a single sonic pattern—mid-album tracks like “Dragon” or “Inside Out” can feel formulaic—Lynn’s commanding delivery and lyrical candor maintain momentum. Collaborations such as “Death Wish” with Danny Worsnop add texture, and though the overall sound is bold and consistent, a few tracks could use more variation. Overall, it’s an impressive debut: vast in emotional reach and potent in its raw combination of power and vulnerability.
