‘Tied Up’ is the new collaborative single from The Magician and singer-songwriter Julian Perretta. Released on 17th February, it is The Magician’s first release after signing with B1 Recordings, Ministry of Sound and Ultra for a worldwide deal with Sony Music.
‘Tied Up’ features scorching chords and a soft bass-line leading to Perretta’s distinctive voice, with piano chords and distinctive chopped vocals providing depth in the chorus. With emotive lyrics the song is yet dancefloor-ready.
The Magician’s success goes hand in hand with years of experience in the underground side of the electronic scene. His first EP, ‘I Don’t Know What To Do’, came out via the French label Kitsuné, before he went on to find widespread recognition from his remix of Lykke Li’s ‘I Follow Rivers’. An amazingly upbeat and catchy new version of the original, this remix now stands at almost 80 million streams on Spotify and reached #1 in five countries and #2 in four countries. After a number of successful productions via FFRR and Parlophone – including the huge Europe-wide hit with Years & Years, ‘Sunlight’ – he founded the aptly-named Potion label and event series on which he released last year’s successful single ‘Shy’.
As a DJ, The Magician has played at Pacha, Space, Ushuaia and Amnesia in Ibiza, Coachella, Output New York, The Warehouse Project and Amsterdam’s -defunct Trouw to name a few. Since launching Potion, he’s brought the event series to Ministry of Sound, Showcase Paris, Exchange LA, Electric Brixton, New York’s Webster Hall and more.
Julian Perretta is a platinum-selling singer-songwriter – his single ‘Miracle’ hit #1 in thirteen countries -and has previously performed alongside Amy Winehouse, Marc Ronson and Beyoncé. After the success of his debut album ‘Stitch Me Up’ and single ‘Wonder Why’, Julian began to explore pairing his vocals and song writing with electronic production, releasing tracks alongside EDM big names like Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Lost Frequencies.
The pair’s collaboration on ‘Tied Up’ is an exciting moment for both artists and the fans as well; showcasing the best of both their talents, the single looks to indulge in giving the fans what they expect after the hype!
