Get Enchanted by Precious Child's "Magic Is Real'

Precious Child has never been one to shy from bold statements, whether acoustically or visually, and his “Magic Is Real” single and music video are precisely what we expected from the brilliantly creative artist. Directed by the equally visionary Mikki Morrison, “Magic Is Real” is hypnotic as it reminds us that we’re surrounded by magic.

“Magic is Real” was a piece of music that I wrote on my birthday. I was born in the early morning an hour before sunrise and I finished the composition around 3AM. I thought it was perfect for what I felt was of the most important scenes in the documentary- the one that talks about the magic in Neil’s work. I personally experience magic in many ways, but most strongly in the wilderness and in art and music.

For the video, I found Mikki’s visual work online through a mutual friend and loved how she had an eye for the experiences between experiences; the details and split second flashes of beauty in life that we all experience but sometimes ignore. I approached her about collaboration, sent her the song, and asked her to do her thing and capture footage of what she sees. In editing I took it a little further and repositioned clips within the screen to force the viewers eyes to move around and actively look- the same way that she does. The subject matter of my art is generally focused on suffering and pain and vengeance and darkness but here’s my ray of sunshine. The song and video are my gift for people to find magic and beauty. – Precious Child
