POP WUNDERKIND WILL LINLEY RELEASES HIS SOPHOMORE EP MAGIC

OPENING FOR MAROON 5 IN SOUTH AFRICA Will Linley is back with a brand new 6-song EP Magic, out today via Island Records. The 22-year-old South-African singer-songwriter shares a collection of “sad-pop” songs, mastering the art of mixing raw, emotional lyrics over cheery, dance-y beats. The EP features previously released singles “Maybe,” “Gracie,” “Tough (The Girls Song),” and most notably “Last Call.” The EP also includes two new singles “Magic” and “On Paper.” On the release of the new project, Linley shares “The Magic EP is a piece of my art. It represents the artist I am right now. The last two years have been incredible and humbling because getting to make music was so far from what I thought I’d be doing… this is all I ever dreamed of doing. I hope this EP captures your heart like the way it has captured mine.” Will made a splash in 2023 after playing two sold out shows in the US at Mercury Lounge in New York and Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles. These shows followed a successful UK tour which included P!nk’s Summer Carnival and Will’s debut London headline concert at Courtyard Theatre. Up next, Linley will be opening for Maroon 5 in January/February in South Africa at Calabash. Magic EP Tracklist:

ABOUT WILL LINLEY:Brought up in Cape Town as the youngest member of a musical family, 22-year-old musician/songwriter Will Linley grew up playing violin and viola before teaching himself piano and guitar. He began to write songs in high school, inspired by pop singer-songwriters such as Dean Lewis, Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran.
