Charlotte & Magon – Love Happening
Charlotte & Magon first met online in 2006. Charlotte was a musician from France, and Magon was a musician from Israel. They chatted over the internet for 2 years, then decided to make an album together. Charlotte flew over to Tel-Aviv for 12 days to meet Magon in March 2008.
In those 12 days of writing and recording songs together for this album, Charlotte & Magon fell in love, and they’ve been together ever since. What I was hearing was 2 people in sync, musically, emotionally and spiritually. What I heard was Love Happening; and that is what makes this album so special.
They channel Air, Sigur Ros, and the lighter sides of Dirty Vegas and Phoenix simultaneously, throw in some wave sound effects, French and English spoken word, soft whispering, some honest and heartfelt expression, and a keyboard solo here and there.
The chords are dissonant at times, but always seem to resolve (almost mirroring the perils of looking for love, then finding it), and the contrast of Charlotte’s soft angelic vocals to Magon’s slightly brasher voice blend well together during the more harmonious sections of this record. You can almost see them lovingly gaze at each other in your mind as their enchanting music conveys to you their blossoming love story from track 1 to track 10.
Charlotte & Magon have captured an important facet of human emotion, and successfully expressed it through music. Love Happening is exactly what it feels like to fall in love, and it will warm your soul with it’s honesty and charm.
—————– ( This was my first listen early dis am. I was still half sleep while listening to Charlotte & Magon and I kept asking myself, does this really fits tss. Well its definitely out of my parameters but still BEAUTIFUL. Give it go and decide for yourself. All I can say is… musics that is romantically beautiful with AWESOME VOCALS and totally laid back. Also VERY French sort of Nouvelle Vague. Charlotte & Magon is BEAUTFUL ). —————–
