Andrej 747, singer of four-piece Magnetic, maybe Jamaican or simply a talented imitator. Whatever the answer, To Be And to Have comes across from the first listen as a true achievement. In the style dub meets jazz meets electro pop, Magnetic develops after two years of existence a savoir-faire worthy of the pros, the freshness in addition. Perfect melodies ("Bigger You Come", "Wide Open Eyes"), elegant instrumentation and multi-layered arrangements (the ska touch of "Kill You With Words") are as many assets in the hands of a band with such potential. Since these Parisians are also capable of great stage acts, we'll be confident in predicting them a brilliant future. Between Soul Coughing and Erick Truffaz, Magnetic is a magnet you will not be able to resist.
