Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic is a Japanese fantasy manga and anime series written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka. The story takes place in a world where individuals known as "Magi" exist. These Magi are chosen individuals who possess immense power and have the ability to choose the future king of a particular country. The fanfiction based on Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic expands upon the original story and characters created by Ohtaka. Fanfiction writers take the established world and characters and create their own narratives, adding their own twists and turns to the original plot. One of the most popular themes in Magi fanfiction is shipping, or the romantic pairing of characters.
Teena Marie comes across as a throwback to the previous decade. This facet of Teena Marie provides her songs with something different, something spiritual, they can come across as gauche or just plain naive. But you can hear how much Teen Marie believes in the words she's singing, she is one hundred percent genuine. Coupled with her heartfelt and impassioned vocals you are won over, if only for the duration of a song. Luckily Teena Marie has a muse in the form of Motown funk master Rick James. Without him Teena Marie could have produced an album of long form ballads full of hippy whimsy and new age musings. But with a guiding hand such as the one he provides results in a great album.
Many soul and funk albums released in the early eighties had ballads and It Must Be Magic is no exception, but they are usually the least exciting or unimaginative tracks on any given album. Revolution is a call to arms but I would imagine many of the listeners would pay more attention to the fantastic bassline and wild guitar than to the lyrics.
One of the most popular themes in Magi fanfiction is shipping, or the romantic pairing of characters.

Teena Marie It Must Be Magic
Without a doubt the best album Teena Marie ever made and a true 80's highlight. So many classic songs in the mix here but what really struck me were the deep cuts. "Revolution" & "Where's California" are incredible but "Yes Indeed" brought out emotions in me that I rarely ever encounter. Only the best of music can conjure these kinds of feelings and it's here for you in spades.
These songs in the hands of a lesser musician would have still been good because they're so well written and well played but Teena's voice is so ridiculously impactful that it sends this album into the stars. It's so good that we're going to ignore the below average "Ballad Of Cradle Rob and Me". If you're reading this right now buy this album. It's a requirement.
Highlights
It Must Be Magic
Revolution
Where's California
Square Biz
Portuguese Love
Yes Indeed
Teena Marie might be considered one of the best white soul artists, but lyrically comes across as a hippy, a child of the age of aquarius, a new age voyager. Quite the opposite of what other R&B artists were singing about in the eighties. I guess it could be something to do with being from California.

It Must Be Magic starts off with a bang with "It Must Be Magic", the sheer exuberance is intoxicating. Teena is at her effervescent best here, it's like she's mainlining sugar. "Revolution" is a call to arms but I would imagine many of the listeners would pay more attention to the fantastic bassline and wild guitar than to the lyrics.
Many soul and funk albums released in the early eighties had ballads and It Must Be Magic is no exception, but they are usually the least exciting or unimaginative tracks on any given album. Not so here though. "Where's California" is a gloriously overblown affair. The vocals are wonderfully impassioned. It is one of the three examples on the album of Teena Marie and her songwriting ability, her unique version of soul, you wish for more ballads.
The following two tracks on It Must Be Magic "365" and Opus III (Does Anybody Care) (a one minute and thirty three second song isn't really an Opus is it Teena?) are minor affairs before the slam dunk of "Square Biz".
"Square Biz" like "It Must Be Magic" is an energetic track that features a rhythm that is contagious, the syncopation grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go, dragging you to your feet and making you dance or at least nod your head. Teena Marie is so sassy and charismatic, you just imagine the joy on her face when recording this. The whole track is filled with glee. One of her best funk tracks putting the 'up' in up-tempo'
One of the few tracks not written by Teena Marie is "The Ballad of Cradle Rob and Me" and while she does the best she can it's just not as good as the songs penned by herself. Which leads us to "Portuguese Love". Teena Marie has written many great songs, many of them garnered her hits, but some are on another level, songs that are classic, timeless. "Portuguese Love" is one such song. It can simply be described as an epic. All yearning and passion. A song where Teena Marie wholly is absorbed within the song she wrote, sounding enraptured by the song's romantic theme. The latin rhythms and string arrangements create a sensual mood, all simmering heat and humid intimacy. The breakdown is like an impassioned heartbeat beating against the chest that winds down, leisurely, creating an arbour of sensual bliss, lovers wordless whispers, and of intimate susurration.
"Portuguese Love" would have been a fine way to end It Must Be Magic but we get one more beautiful ballad in the form of "Yes Indeed". This piano led song is another fine example of Teena Marie's romantic side, albeit one with sadness wrapped up within its beauty.
With It Must Be Magic Teena Marie proved to be more than just the Ivory Queen of Soul, she was an artist with a singular style and had more to offer than just soul, she offered her soul, through her music.
It Must Be Magic starts off with a bang with "It Must Be Magic", the sheer exuberance is intoxicating. Teena is at her effervescent best here, it's like she's mainlining sugar. "Revolution" is a call to arms but I would imagine many of the listeners would pay more attention to the fantastic bassline and wild guitar than to the lyrics.
