In the past few weeks, James Fauntleroy's output has been tireless, averaging at least two new tracks per week for the last month or so. His latest is "Magic."

Whereas many of his recent tracks bore artwork that referenced anime works like "Spirited Away" and "Dragonball Z," "Magic" comes accompanied by a vintage Felix The Cat cartoon. Musically, the song somewhat resembles a slowed-down version of D.R.A.M.'s "Cha Cha" (kind of like Drake's "Hotline Bling") but this doesn't seem to be a sample. Fauntleroy sings romantic lyrics and outfits the song's keyboard-led shuffle with tasteful guitar licks. This man's a machine. 

Quotable Lyrics

Publicly holding hands
Smoking til the stars at night are done
And the only two stars left now
Are you and the sun
