The band distills a gentle Caribbean flavor with an arena-size bombast sound that is driven by its expansive approach to songwriting and a strong musical chemistry. Nasri (lead singer/songwriter) and Mark Pelli (guitar) deliver elements of reggae with a pop and rock vibe, while Ben Spivak (bass) and Alex Tanas (drums) inject the rock attitude to create an intoxicating musical experience. On July 1, Latium/RCA Records released MAGIC!'s debut album, "Don't Kill The Magic," which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.

In March, British band Rixton released their debut EP, "Me And My Broken Heart," featuring their buzz-worthy single of the same title, which has sold more than 750,000 downloads and Cracked the Top 10 at pop radio, while impacting Hot AC, Rhythmic, and AC. "Me And My Broken Heart" also ranks as a No. 1 Most Shazam-ed new track in the U.S., while the official video, directed by Cameron Duddy, has racked up more than 12 million views on YouTube/VEVO. They have been featured as an MTV 2014 "Artist To Watch" and a VEVO LIFT artist, while "Me And My Broken Heart" was chosen as an iTunes Single of the Week. Rixton recently announced their U.S. headline "Broken Heart Tour," kicking off July 30 in Boston, with Los Angeles and New York City dates selling out in 30 minutes!
