Norwegian progressive rock band Magic Pie has released a new single and video titled “Someone Else’s Wannabe.” The track showcases the group’s signature blend of technical instrumentation, intricate vocal arrangements, and melodic flair.
The single precedes the band’s sixth studio album, Maestro, which will be released on May 16 via Karisma Records, available in CD, LP, and digital formats.
As with previous albums featuring vocalist Eirikur Hauksson, guitarist Kim Stenberg composed the music for Maestro, while Eirikur provided the lyrics and vocal melodies. According to Eirikur, their collaborative dynamic merges Stenberg’s progressive rock background with his own influences from heavy metal, The Beatles, and David Bowie, resulting in a distinctive sound within the prog-rock genre.
Musicians: Kim Stenberg on guitars and vocals; Lars Petter Holstad on bass and vocals; Eirikur Hauksson on lead vocals; Martin Utby on drums; Eirik Hanssen on vocals; and Erling Henanger on keyboards and vocals,
