Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Magelles

EuroIndieMusic January 29, 2026 0

Magelles is a joyful, uninhibited, and multicultural pop project, born in the halls of our school, Magellan High School (formerly Musical Arte) – hence our name. Magelles is a unique fusion where the timeless melancholy of a Françoise Hardy, the reggae-infused social conscience of an Alpha Blondy, the visionary boldness of Björk, the accessible reggae-pop of UB40, and the stage power of BlackPink all collide. Our signature? A hybrid of roots reggae and tropical house – sun-drenched music, yes, but music that dares to tackle the burning issues of our generation: bullying, identity, mental health, delivered with the energy of a live show and the sincerity of a whispered secret.

‘Magelles’ is a direct reference to the school, Magellan High School (ex-Musical Arte). It’s the root, the starting point, the birthplace of the band. The ‘-elles’ is a French, feminine plural ending that gives the name Magelles a soft, collective, and feminine sound (even though the band is mixed – 4 brilliant women / 2 brilliant guys). Magelles is a collective, forged in time.

Magelles possesses a strong and unique identity: it exists nowhere else, it is us, 100%. The narrative root tells our story immediately (‘We come from Magellan High School’). And then there’s that memorable, pleasant sound: ‘Magelles’ is easy on the ear, easy to remember and pronounce internationally. The ‘-elles’ suggests a crew, a tight-knit group, which fits our dynamic and our openness perfectly. Though it has a French sound, it isn’t tied to any specific language, which is ideal for a multicultural, multilingual project.

Magelles, far more than an acronym, is an identity that carries our DNA.

What is your earliest memory connected to music?

This was the era (around 2010). The musical landscape was defined by the explosion of electronic pop and dance (The Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, Basshunter, Lady Gaga). The reign of powerhouse pop divas (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kesha). The potent fusion of Hip-Hop and Pop (Timbaland, Jay-Z, Flo Rida, T-Pain). It was also the dawn of the ‘pop star as concept’ era (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry)—a sound that was highly produced, glossy, optimistic, and built for the clubs (‘I Gotta Feeling’, ‘TiK ToK’, ‘Poker Face’).

But for us, Magelles, with our touchstones (Françoise Hardy, Alpha Blondy, Roots Reggae, Björk, UB40), the project is a reaction to—or perhaps a digestion of—that ultra-polished, commercial pop of our childhood. It’s a conscious turn back towards more organic, politically engaged, and artistically daring roots. Magelles draws from an earlier era (the 80s and 90s) to create something fundamentally different from the pop that soundtracked our earliest years.

How did your passion for creating music begin?

It all started in the music room at Magellan High. We were listening to something like Björk – that incredible melodicism – and at the same time, we were fascinated by the hyper-modern productions of BlackPink. We wondered: what if we blended the warmth and message of reggae with the precise electronic production and dynamics of K-pop?

Yeah, and our teacher, Ernestus, caught us tinkering with that mix. He said, “What you’re doing… it’s as if Alpha Blondy and BlackPink did a feature produced by Björk. Keep going.” That was the lightbulb moment.

What’s the story behind your current music project?

The story is rooted in our reality as high school students. Magelles is music that combines the lyrical and social depth of Alpha Blondy’s songs, but speaks specifically to the inner battles of today’s teens. We took the melodic accessibility of UB40 and the unstoppable production of BlackPink as our vehicle.

Our miniseries, High School Musical Arte, tells that exact story: how we try to reconcile these seemingly opposing influences to create a sound that feels like us.

How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?

Imagine the groovy bassline and warm brass of an Alpha Blondy reggae-pop track, layered with a clean, danceable tropical house beat like you’d hear in a modern K-pop production. Add a voice with the delicate, poetic phrasing of a Françoise Hardy, sometimes pierced by the raw, cathartic energy of a Björk. And finally, give the whole thing the choral power and stage impact of a group like BlackPink. That’s our palette.

In short: it’s reggae reimagined for the digital age, with Alpha Blondy’s conscience and BlackPink’s efficiency.

What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?

One essential thing, taking a cue from Alpha Blondy and BlackPink: “Commitment and spectacle don’t oppose each other; they reinforce each other.” We used to think a serious message needed serious, grave music. Wrong. Alpha Blondy speaks of peace over rhythms that make you dance. BlackPink delivers an image of pure power. We’ve learned not to dilute our messages, but to mix them, to dress them with irresistible production and strong stage energy so they become unavoidable. The listening pleasure is THE gateway.

What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?

Studio One is our main playground. That’s where we assemble the reggae bass, house synth pads, and vocal layers, searching for that UB40/BlackPink blend: both organic and ultra-sharp.

For the vocals, we use Melodyne sparingly, to polish without losing the emotion – what matters is the sincerity of the message, like in Françoise Hardy or the urgency in Björk’s voice. And for the lyrics, our bible is still the thesaurus. Finding the right word that balances pure poetry and militant clarity, that’s a whole art form in itself.

Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?

We adore artists who blur the lines like Björk, but also groups who push the boundaries of pop like (G)I-DLE. Their creative boldness and their control over their image and sound inspire us tremendously.

To stay connected to our reggae roots, we always revisit the engaged classics of Alpha Blondy, like “Jerusalem,” or the timeless hits of UB40. That’s our melodic backbone.

How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?

Emotions are the heart of every song. I could write about social injustice in the style of Alpha Blondy, but by transposing it to the schoolyard. Bullying is a political issue on our scale.

For my part (Coco), the energy and sisterhood of BlackPink showed me the importance of confidence and stage presence, especially as a woman in this scene. We harness these strengths to talk about difficult subjects without victimhood, but with a cold determination, almost à la Björk.

What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?

Empowerment, first and foremost. Feeling strong, united, capable of anything. A soft but firm awakening. A spark for the mind and a catchy melody that makes you want to get up and move… or at least think about it while dancing. (laughs)

 What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?

Our references span from 60s French chanson to Ivorian reggae, from Icelandic experimentation to globalised Korean pop. And AI shows us that there’s no such thing as ‘pure’ music. There never has been. Ask Mozart! Everything mixes, echoes, and it’s from these collisions that the most exciting novelty is born. Magelles is the unapologetic product of hybridity. Magelles is quantum!

What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?

As a project, we want to play on stages that celebrate this hybridity.

We’ve already had incredible moments at the National High School Competition in Japan and at the Annecy Festitionnel in 2025. We need three screens and a good sound system, nothing more! All festivals are within our reach, and why not one day a stage like Coachella or Summer Sonic! 100% visual.

If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?

Without hesitation: Björk! Her total approach to art. She would push the limits of our reggae-house fusion into completely uncharted sonic territories. A feature on one of our tracks would be coming full circle.

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?

To make intelligent, engaged, and ultra-effective pop. To develop our series, to create a live show that blends the warmth of a reggae concert with the precision-engineered performance of a K-pop show.

To foster a real dialogue, a space where teenagers feel heard and represented, not infantilised. To be idols, popular artists with something to say.

What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?

To show that we are a tight-knit group with diversity. That behind the project, there are six strong individualities who found a common language in music. The love for discreet poetry and the love for experimentation. We are the ‘and’ generation, not the ‘or’ generation. By listening to us, we hope our audiences accept all parts of themselves, even the ones that seem contradictory.

Magelles, a six-member band born out of Paris’s Lycée International (ex) Musical Arte (Magellan), is rewriting the rules of teen pop with unapologetic urgency. Their latest track, Such A Cheek, isn’t just a sonic provocation — it’s a gut-punch of a protest song, tackling the raw and rampant issue of non-consensual image sharing and cyberbullying in schools.

Coco, the group’s Franco-Japanese DJ, doesn’t mince words:

“Such A Cheek is our scream. I’ve seen girls get humiliated online, and no one stood up for them. We wanted to make noise about it.”

Driven by chanted refrains and jarring onomatopoeia, the song tells the story of a teenage girl betrayed by a classmate, exposed on social media, and turned into a viral “idol” against her will.

Léon, guitarist and composer, says the track’s structure is designed to unsettle:

“The ‘Whoa’s and ‘Tah Tah Tah’s aren’t just catchy. They’re the rhythm of panic, of shame rising.”

Védane, the Franco-Portuguese, keyboards, adds that the “mean sistah” character isn’t a cartoon villain — she’s real, lurking in every school, often fueled by a culture of buzz and judgment.

“We’re not pointing fingers at one person. We’re calling out a system that turns cruelty into entertainment.”

Blondie, the band’s English vocalist, highlights the tragic irony:

“The victim becomes an idol. She’s glorified for her downfall, paraded like a trophy.”

Neeneeb (Nee), a French guitarist, and Luca (ルカ), bassist, round out the sonic landscape with abrasive textures and pulsing basslines that channel stress and fury.

But Such A Cheek isn’t just about outrage — it’s a call for solidarity.

“Teens are ready to hear this,” says Coco. “Because they’re already living it. If even one person feels less alone after listening, then the song did its job.”

Such A Cheek is available via magelles.com and on all streaming platforms. A music video is in the works — and it promises to be just as confrontational as the track itself.

Le groupe Magelles, formé par six jeunes artistes du lycée International ex Musical Arte (Magellan), continue de secouer les codes de la pop adolescente. Leur dernier titre, Such A Cheek, dépasse largement le cadre de la provocation musicale : c’est un uppercut sonore qui aborde sans détour un fléau trop souvent ignoré — la diffusion non consentie de photos intimes et le cyberharcèlement en milieu scolaire.

Coco, DJ du groupe et métisse franco-japonaise, ne cache pas son indignation :

« Such A Cheek, c’est notre cri. J’ai vu des filles se faire humilier en ligne, et personne ne les défendait. On voulait que ça se sache. »

Le morceau, porté par des refrains scandés et des onomatopées tranchantes, raconte l’histoire d’une adolescente trahie par une camarade, exposée sur les réseaux sociaux et propulsée malgré elle au rang d’“idole” virale.

Léon, compositeur et guitariste, explique que la structure musicale elle-même est conçue pour déranger :

« Les “Whoa” et les “Tah Tah Tah” ne sont pas là pour faire joli. C’est le rythme de la panique, de la honte qui monte. »

Védane, franco-portugaise,, claviers, insiste sur le réalisme du personnage de la “mean sistah” :

« Elle n’est pas une caricature. Elle existe dans chaque établissement, parfois encouragée par une culture du buzz et du jugement. »

La chanson ne pointe pas du doigt une personne en particulier, mais dénonce un système qui transforme la cruauté en spectacle.

Blondie, chanteuse anglaise du groupe, souligne l’ironie tragique du morceau :

« La victime devient une idole malgré elle. Elle est glorifiée pour sa chute, exposée comme un trophée. »

Neeneeb (Nee), guitariste française, et Luca (ルカ), bassiste, enrichissent cette vision sonore avec des textures abrasives et des pulsations nerveuses, traduisant le stress et la colère.

Mais Such A Cheek ne se limite pas à la dénonciation : c’est aussi un appel à la solidarité.

« Les ados sont prêts à entendre ça, » conclut Coco. « Parce qu’ils le vivent déjà. Si une seule personne se sent moins seule en l’écoutant, alors le morceau a rempli sa mission. »

Such A Cheek est disponible via magelles.com et sur toutes les plateformes. Un clip est en préparation — et s’annonce aussi frontal que le morceau lui-même.

**Magelles : Le Phénomène Pop Hybride Venu de la Magellan High School**

Move over, les vieux standards ! La scène musicale européenne vient de trouver sa nouvelle pépite : **Magelles**. Pas juste un groupe, mais une expérience artistique née des bancs de la Magellan High School, un lycée artistique qui leur a filé leur nom – et leur aura. Un nom malicieux, croisant "Magie" et "Elles", qui annonce la couleur : envoûtant et résolument féminin.

Leur son ? Un mélange ultra-branché de **French Touch Pop**, de **Teen Pop énergique** et de vibes **Reggae** qui font mouche. Mais Magelles, c'est d'abord un univers visuel ultra soigné, une esthétique graphique qui tape dans l’œil autant que dans les oreilles.

Accrochez-vous, parce que le projet est ambitieux : ils sont le cœur battant d'une mini-série musicale, **"High School Musical Arte – 2025"**, qui blur les lignes entre leur quotidien d'ado et leur création artistique. Du contenu qui déchire.

Leurs titres parlent d'eux-mêmes :

*   **« Loop of Love »** : Un tube pop addictif qui cartonne déjà avec plus de **21 000 vues**. Un hymne à l'amour qui reste en tête.

*   **« Même Pas Vrai » (もう本当じゃない)** : Le coup de génie bilingue. Une chanson franco-japonaise d'une expressivité brute.

*   **« Batida de Abraço »** : Le teaser qui balance des sonorités brésiliennes pour une future version de "Loop Of Love". Chaud !

*   **« Menina Boêmia »** : Une ballade douce et langoureuse en portugais qui vous transporte instantanément.

**Influences & Univers : L'ADN Hybridé de Magelles**

Magelles, c'est le cocktail audacieux de la pop francophone à la Christine and the Queens, de l'attitude rock teen d'**Hyphen Hyphen** ou **Indochine**, et de la coolitude décomplexée de **La Femme** ou **Pomme**.

Leur amour des sonorités globales les pousse plus loin :

*   Le portugais sensuel de « Menina Boêmia » claque comme du **Marisa Monte** ou de la **Bebel Gilberto**.

*   Le japonais percutant de « Même Pas Vrai » puise dans la J-pop élégante de **Yoasobi** ou **Aimer**.

*   L'aspect teen série musicale évoque **HSM** ou **Glee**, mais avec une patte européenne et une authenticité artistique qui font toute la diff'.

**Le Verdict ?** Magelles refuse toute case. Ils créent un univers hybride, visuel et multiculturel, là où d'autres se spécialisent. Ils jouent sur la diversité et l'émotion pure. Difficiles à classer ? Et alors. C'est exactement ce qui les rend aussi rafraîchissants. Watch out for them.

**マジェル：マゼラン高校発のハイブリッド・ポップ現象**

古い常識は捨ててしまえ！ヨーロッパの音楽シーンに新たな宝石が登場した：**マジェル（Magelles）**。単なるバンドではなく、マゼラン高校（Magellan High School）という芸術学校の廊下から生まれたアーティスティックな体験そのものだ。名前の由来であり、その鋭敏な感覚の源でもあるこの学校。その名は「魔法（Magie）」と「彼女ら（Elles）」を掛けた洒落たもので、誘惑的で断固として女性的な彼女たちの世界を約束する。

そのサウンドは？**フレンチ・タッチ・ポップ**、エネルギッシュな**ティーン・ポップ**、そして強烈な**レゲエ**の雰囲気を超おしゃれにブレンドしたもの。だが、マジェルにとって何よりも重要なのは、極めて洗練されたビジュアルの世界、目と耳の両方を equally 打つグラフィックな美学だ。

覚悟しておけ、なぜならそのプロジェクトは野心的だから：彼女たちはミュージカル・ミニシリーズ**「ハイスクール・ミュージカル ARTE – 2025」**の中心であり、十代の日常とアーティスティックな創造の境界線を曖昧にする。ぶっ飛んだコンテンツだ。

彼女たちの楽曲が全てを物語る：

*   **「Loop of Love」**：**21,000回以上の再生**をすでに記録している中毒性のあるポップ・アンセム。頭から離れない愛への賛歌。

*   **「Même Pas Vrai」（もう本当じゃない）**：二言語による天才的一撃。フランス語と日本語の raw な表現力を持つ楽曲。

*   **「Menina Boêmia」**：ポルトガル語の甘く憂いのあるバラードで、一瞬で別世界へ連れて行ってくれる。

**影響と世界観：マジェルのハイブリッドDNA**

マジェルは、**Christine and the Queens** のようなフランコフォン・ポップ、**Hyphen Hyphen** や **Indochine** のようなティーン・ロックの態度、**La Femme** や **Pomme** のような気取らないクールさの大胆なカクテルだ。

グローバルなサウンドへの愛は彼女たちをさらに遠くへ連れて行く：

*   「Menina Boêmia」の官能的なポルトガル語は、**Marisa Monte** や **Bebel Gilberto** を思わせる。

*   「Même Pas Vrai」の印象的な日本語は、**Yoasobi** や **Aimer** のエレガントなJ-Popに由来する。

*   ティーン・ミュージカルシリーズの側面は **HSM** や **Glee** を連想させるが、ヨーロッパの趣きとアーティスティックな真実味が決定的な違いを作り出している。

**結論？** マジェルはあらゆる枠組みを拒否する。彼女たちは、他のアーティストが特化する分野において、ハイブリッドでビジュアル的、かつ多文化的な宇宙を創造する。多様性と純粋な感情に賭けるのだ。分類が難しい？それがどうした。まさにそのことが彼女たちをここまで清新な存在にしている。要チェックだ。

**Magelles: Das hybride Pop-Phänomen von der Magellan High School**

Macht Platz, alte Standards! Die europäische Musikszene hat ihr neues Juwel gefunden: **Magelles**. Nicht nur eine Band, sondern eine künstlerische Erfahrung, die in den Fluren der Magellan High School, einer Kunstschule, die ihnen ihren Namen – und ihre Attitüde – verlieh, geboren wurde. Ein cleverer Name, eine Mischung aus "Magie" und "Sie" (fem.), der alles sagt: bezaubernd und entschieden weiblich.

Ihr Sound? Eine ultra-hippe Mischung aus **French Touch Pop**, energetischem **Teen Pop** und **Reggae**-Vibes, die einschlagen. Aber Magelles ist in erster Linie eine ultra-gestylte visuelle Welt, eine grafische Ästhetik, die ebenso sehr ins Auge wie ins Ohr sticht.

Schnallt euch an, denn das Projekt ist ambitioniert: Sie sind der pulsierende Herzschlag einer Musical-Miniserie, **"High School Musical Arte – 2025"**, die die Grenzen zwischen ihrem Teenager-Alltag und ihrer künstlerischen Kreation verwischt. Absolut krasser Content.

Ihre Tracks sprechen für sich:

*   **« Loop of Love »**: Eine suchterregende Pop-Hymne, die mit über **21.000 Aufrufen** bereits durch die Decke geht. Eine Ode an die Liebe, die im Kopf bleibt.

*   **« Même Pas Vrai » (もう本当じゃない)**: Der geniale zweisprachige Coup. Ein roh expressiver französisch-japanischer Song.

*   **« Batida de Abraço »**: Der Teaser, der brasilianische Klänge für eine zukünftige Version von "Loop Of Love" dropt. Heiß!

*   **« Menina Boêmia »**: Eine süße, schwermütige Ballade auf Portugiesisch, die einen sofort wegträgt.

**Einflüsse & Universum: Magelles' hybride DNA**

Magelles ist der mutige Cocktail aus francophonem Pop à la **Christine and the Queens**, der Teen-Rock-Attitüde von **Hyphen Hyphen** oder **Indochine** und der unverkrampften Coolness von **La Femme** oder **Pomme**.

Ihre Liebe zu globalen Klängen treibt sie weiter:

*   Das sinnliche Portugiesisch in « Menina Boêmia » knallt wie **Marisa Monte** oder **Bebel Gilberto**.

*   Das eindringliche Japanisch in « Même Pas Vrai » schöpft aus dem eleganten J-Pop von **Yoasobi** oder **Aimer**.

*   Der Teen-Musical-Serie-Aspekt erinnert an **HSM** oder **Glee**, aber mit einer europäischen Note und einer künstlerischen Authentizität, die den Unterschied ausmacht.

**Das Urteil?** Magelles weigert sich, in eine Schublade gesteckt zu werden. Sie erschaffen eine hybride, visuelle und multikulturelle Welt, in der sich andere spezialisieren. Sie setzen auf Vielfalt und pure Emotion. Schwer zu kategorisieren? Und? Genau das macht sie so erfrischend. Haltet die Augen offen nach ihnen.

**마젤: 마젤란 고등학교 출신의 하이브리드 팝 페노메논**

옛것들은 이제 그만! 유럽 음악 신에 새로운 보석이 등장했다: **마젤(Magelles)**. 단순한 밴드가 아닌, 마젤란 고등학교(Magellan High School)라는 예술 학교에서 탄생한 예술적 경험 그 자체. 그들에게 이름과 – 그리고 특별함을 부여한 이 학교. '마법(Magie)'과 '그녀들(Elles)'을 조합한 교묘한 이름은 모든 것을 말해준다: 매혹적이고 단호하게 여성적이다.

그들의 사운드? **프렌치 터치 팝**, 에너제틱한 **틴 팝**, 그리고 강렬한 **레게** 비브스가 초히프하게 블렌딩된 것. 하지만 마젤에게 가장 중요한 것은 극도로 정교한 비주얼 유니버스, 눈과 귀를 동시에 사로잡는 그래픽적인 미학이다.

잘 들어봐, 이 프로젝트는 야심차니까: 그들은 뮤지컬 미니시리즈 **"하이스쿨 뮤지컬 ARTE – 2025"**의 중심이다. 이 시리즈는 십 대의 일상과 예술적 창조의 경계를 흐린다. 죽이는 콘텐츠지.

그들의 트랙이 모든 것을 말해준다:

*   **« Loop of Love »**: **21,000뷰 이상**을 기록 중인 중독성强的인 팝 앤섬. 머리에 맴도는 사랑에 대한 찬가.

*   **« Même Pas Vrai » (もう本当じゃない)**: 두 언어를 사용한 천재적인 한 방. 프랑스어와 일본어의 raw한 표현력을 가진 노래.

*   **« Batida de Abraço »**: "Loop Of Love"의未来 버전을 위한 브라질리안 사운드를 선보이는 티저. 핫!

*   **« Menina Boêmia »**: 포르투갈어로 된 달콤하고 우울한 발라드, 순간적으로 다른 세계로 데려다준다.

**영향 & 유니버스: 마젤의 하이브리드 DNA**

마젤은 **Christine and the Queens** 같은 프랑코폰 팝, **Hyphen Hyphen**이나 **Indochine** 같은 틴 록 attitude, **La Femme**이나 **Pomme** 같은 거리낌 없는 쿨함의 대담한 칵테일이다.

글로벌 사운드에 대한 사랑은 그들을 더 멀리 이끈다:

*   « Menina Boêmia »의 관능적인 포르투갈어는 **Marisa Monte**나 **Bebel Gilberto**를 연상시킨다.

*   « Même Pas Vrai »의 인상적인 일본어는 **Yoasobi**나 **Aimer**의 우아한 J-Pop에서 영감을 받았다.

*   틴 뮤지컬 시리즈적인 측면은 **HSM**이나 **Glee**를 떠올리게 하지만, 유럽적인 감각과 예술적인 진정성이 결정적인 차이를 만든다.

**결론?** 마젤은 어떤 틀도 거부한다. 다른 아티스트들이 특화하는 곳에서, 그들은 하이브리드하고 비주얼적이며 다문화적인 우주를 창조한다. 다양성과 순수한 감정에 건다. 분류하기 어렵다고? 그래서 어때. 바로 그 점이 그들을 이렇게 상쾌하게 만드는 이유다. 지켜봐야 할 존재.
