Review

The thing about Mercurial World is that it feels like stepping into a mirror-ball universe where heartbreak glows neon and existential dread comes with a synth hook. Magdalena Bay take pop maximalism and twist it into something deliciously self-aware — part fantasy, part therapy session set to a glittering beat.

Tracks like “Secrets (Your Fire)” and “Hysterical Us” glide with a mix of hyperpop sheen and wistful melancholy, while “You Lose!” and “Halfway” pulse like late-night thoughts turned dance anthems. Every chorus feels like it’s teetering between euphoria and collapse, and that tension is where the magic lives.

Mica Tenenbaum’s voice flutters between intimacy and starlight, and Matthew Lewin’s production builds worlds — plastic and real, digital and bleeding. Mercurial World captures that millennial ache for connection in a universe built on endless reflections. It’s pop that looks right back at you. - Ava
