Magi Merlin is back with enthralling new single POPSTAR

Following the release of her cover of IDLES’ POP POP POP, which was praised on social media by Joe Talbot, the band’s lead singer, Magi Merlin now returns with POPSTAR, a fierce, declarative single which carries her intent to reframe fame as responsibility. This new song comes out a few days after a European tour opening for Yaya Bey.

Co-produced with Funkywhat, POPSTAR sees Magi Merlin expand on her unique, catchy-yet-singular sound while doubling down on the role she wants to play as an artist. After writing this song and thinking about it with intention, I think I can see the true responsibility of a popstar, says Magi. It is to be a messenger, to influence and to inspire change in the people listening. I don't think the point is to single-handedly change the world; it's to remind all of us that we can, if we do it together.
