Mark Owen has today released his brand new single, Magic. The track, which Mark introduced live on air on the Zoe Ball show this morning for an exclusive first play, is the third offering from his forthcoming album and first solo record in over nine years, Land Of Dreams, out 23rd September.

Listen to Magic here and pre-order Land Of Dreams here.

Magic is guaranteed to bring euphoric summer feels to listeners, as Mark’s soulful vocals blended with the track’s catchy beat makes this a slinky, falsetto’d, disco-funk hip-shaker in which Mark channels his inner Bee Gee.

Speaking on his evolution as an artist, Mark explained: “I’ve really been trying to capture lots of different energies from all the shows I’ve seen. So I’ve made songs that I want to see live. There’s a guitar solo in Magic that I’m dying to perform because I want to hear how that guitar solo sounds on stage!”

As part of pop group Take That, he has won eight BRIT Awards, scored 12 UK No.1 singles, eight UK No.1 albums, sold over 45 million records and played live to millions of fans around the world.
