Magi Merlin - POWER HOUSE (2026) Hi-Res

Montreal’s Magi Merlin is making serious waves in the Canadian music scene. The multidisciplinary talent not only shines on her award-winning EP Gone Girl, but has already turned heads live alongside acts like Omar Apollo and Nubya Garcia. Now, the Canadian singer and producer releases her debut album, POWER HOUSE, proving she has what it takes to compete at the very top of the pop world.

Musically, the album defies easy categorization. Merlin herself describes her unconventional, infectious sound as "broken R&B"—an eclectic, almost anarchic fusion of driving '90s house, catchy indie pop, groovy jazz, and cheeky hip-hop. The opening track, "Welcome Home," immediately draws listeners into this unique sonic universe, before bass-heavy club anthems like "SpiceKick" and "EAT!ME!OUT!" dial up the tempo with a provocative, self-assured attitude.

Yet POWER HOUSE is more than just a danceable clash of genres; it is an exploration of internal architecture. Amidst the driving beats, atmospherically dark tracks like "Crawl" and "Salt" offer a glimpse deep into her psyche, fearlessly embracing the dark, contradictory corners of her self. It is a loud, bold, and profound debut that simultaneously pulls listeners onto the dance floor and transports them into an inner emotional landscape—firmly establishing Magi Merlin as one of the most exciting voices of her generation.
