Benson Boone Drops ‘Mystical Magical’ New Song After Its Live Debut at Coachella
On Thursday (April 24), Benson Boone released his new song “Mystical Magical,” following its live debut at Coachella. It’s the second single from Benson’s American Heart album, due June 20 via Night Street Records/Warner Records.
With a jangly pop-rock production, Boone is clearly having a blast on the song, showing off his famous falsetto on the chorus as he tries to describe the otherworldly feeling of his love. “‘Cause it feels so mystical, magical, oh baby/ ‘Cause once you know, once you know/ My love is so mystical, magical, oh baby/ ‘Cause once you know, once you know,” he sings in the light-as-air chorus.
Boone made his Coachella debut on April 11, where he brought out Queen guitarist Brian May to cover the epic 1975 hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” and also gave his fans in the desert a sneak peek at his brand-new single, performing “Mystical Magical” for the first time live.
An official lyric video for the song, directed by Matt Eastin, also debuted on Thursday, showing Boone dancing around in a series of colorful outfits and settings, as balloons float all around him or, just like the lyrics says, “dancing at the movies.”
“Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” the first single from American Heart, hit the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, so far peaking at No. 36, and has also climbed to No. 13 on the Pop Airplay chart.
Boone will make his Saturday Night Live debut as the May 3 musical guest alongside host Quinta Brunson. He also has a string of festival dates lined up throughout the summer, including BottleRock in Napa, California; Summerfest in Milwaukee; and Governors Ball in New York.
