  • Magic (B.o.B song)

    "Magic" is a song by American hip hop recording artist B.o.B, released on June 7, 2010 as the fifth single from his debut studio album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray (2010). The track features Weezer's lead singer Rivers Cuomo, singing the chorus. It was written by both artists, alongside the song's producer Dr. Luke. In the UK, the track made Radio 1's B-Playlist.

    Reception

    Despite mixed reviews, the song progressed up and down the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number 10 at its peak. Billboard.com gave it a positive review, saying, "The song's strongest force is an infectious, throbbing synth-guitar hook from Dr. Luke, who seamlessly fuses B.o.B's verses with a chorus by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo that demands a singalong. The result is stellar." The reviewer at TinyMixtapes.com said that "'Magic' is magnificently, triumphantly corny, enough to give Steve Miller and that guy from The Outfield a run for their money. 'Magic' isn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but it is goofily enjoyable." In his album review for Spin, Kenny Herzog wrote, "The Adventures of Bobby Ray is a hip-hop Scary Movie, tossing off references (Vampire Weekend sample, Rivers Cuomo cameo) while struggling to establish a distinctive identity." Pitchfork questioned "the appearance by Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, whose creepily blank vocals on 'Magic' sound like the engineer has a gun to his head".The Guardian's Paul MacInnes wrote that "all the Chris Martinesque piano lines and calibrated guest appearances – from Weezer's River Cuomo to Janelle Monáe – can't obscure an absence of soul throughout."

    Magic

    by: Tina Dickow

    I don't do this sort of thing, I said
    As he leaned in and ran his fingers through my hair
    I could see he didn't believe me
    And I could tell from his sweet smile he didn't care
    He slipped his hand under my skirt
    And for a moment I looked deep into his eyes
    I didn't see much in there
    Apart from an emptiness I sadly recognized
    Let me take you far away from here, he said
    I know some magic that is sure to pick you up
    I thought of me alone in my cold hotel bed
    And I said, yeah, well, why not
    He took me back to where he lives
    We had a drink and tried to start a friendly chat
    But neither of us felt much like talking
    About the lives that we were there to forget
    And so he laid me on the bed
    And we undressed; the street lights sliced us through the blinds
    His skin felt warm against my body
    But my body couldn't hold on to my mind
    I drifted far away above this stranger's room
    My thoughts walked down the crowded streets of yesterday
    Until he stopped and asked if he had come to soon
    I shook my head and turned away
    We laid a little while in silence
    ‘Til I got up, got dressed and splashed cold water at my face
    I better go, I said politely
