McKinley Dixon’s new album, Magic, Alive!, is out now on City Slang.
For almost a decade, Dixon has been turning his experiences as a native Southerner and student of literature into vivid reflections on joy, pain, and perseverance. His breakthrough began with 2021’s For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her and continued with 2023’s Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!?, both instrumentally rich exercises in storytelling wrapped up in the trauma and grief of losing a young friend.
In many ways, Magic, Alive! continues the work of its predecessors: It is the story of three kids who lose their best friend and wrestle with the subsequent turmoil. The essential twist is that the trio wonder what they can do to bring their pal back or, at the very least, reconvene with him, so that their friendship does not end with mortality. Indeed, the crux of Magic, Alive! is a broad contemplation of what constitutes magic at all.
