Not Playing By The Rules

Magic Power

Erotic is not something that Mandopop, dominated by chaste, cutesy young things, does very often. No wonder six-member band Magic Power have taken it upon themselves to, well, bring sexy back.

The title track has them going “You really wanna do do do it all night” over a thumping beat and a bouncy synth line.

And on the duet Hush with Della Ding Dang, they heat things up further: “I wanna see you naked... on my bed/Now sexy lady let me hear you sing”.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out during the upcoming [B’3] concert here tomorrow at The Max Pavilion @ Singapore Expo.

Apart from the dance tracks, the band also cover their bases with tuneful ballads such as Tomorrow Comes The Armageddon and I’ll Always Be With You, both chosen to be the theme songs for the Taiwanese broadcast of the Korean television drama Stormy Lovers.

While their self-titled debut last year seemed to be more joyous and less slick, Magic Power remain an entertaining proposition.
