reception
The reception of the album tended to be positive. Manuel Berger from the e-zine laut.de recognized two different musical tracks on the Austrian album: "On the one hand towards trash and cloud rap heaves, on the other towards cerebral progressiveness". According to him, the work is a break with conventions "without slamming the door completely".
The Gap compared Magic Life with Falco 's second album Junge Roemer and commented critically: “Falco's» Junge Romer «was not celebrated as much as» Einzelhaft «because it experimented in more directions. And if you try, you also get some things wrong ”. Nevertheless, the editor responsible for the review, Theresa Ziegler, described it as "probably one of the most influential albums of 2017".
Daniela Derntl of FM4 describes Magic Life summarized as follows: "Musically make a picture book on there, where they" have stopped Schick shock ". They give their sound another highly potent infusion of glam pop, cloud rap, funk rock and groove. Keen to experiment, they push the idea of making new music without compromise. "Magic Life" sounds more sophisticated and more homogeneous than its predecessor. The greatest reference next to Falco and Kanye West is unmistakably the Prince who died last year ”.
