MARAH - ABRACADABRA

Rising singer/songwriter Marah makes her commercial debut with new single 'Abracadabra' off her EP "California"

Marah Francis (full name) is of Samoan heritage and was born & raised in Martinsburg, West Virginia where her father is a Pastor.

She says her father is the person who sparked her love for music and it was the release of Taylor Swift‘s self-titled album that solidified her decision to seriously pursue a recording career.  Since then, she’s continued to grow in her craft and take inspiration from current staple Pop figures like Halsey and BTS. 

Marah on how this song came about: 

“I wrote this song after receiving the track from my manager, Barry “MAGNUM” Darden. When I first heard it, I immediately could tell it was different from any other record I’ve worked on before and I really couldn’t see myself cutting it. However, I kept replaying the instrumental until I was able to see a vision for it. I put this song into a conceptual image. It became a cat and mouse situation filtered by the idea of a magician putting on a show.  

Basically, it’s centered around being emotionally toyed within a relationship. Being aware of what is happening, but choosing not to leave. It’s almost as if this person is trying to figure out the reason behind their partner’s toxic mindset. I filled these lyrics with metaphors and symbolism, that will later connect to other songs. This was loosely based on feelings that I have experienced, as well as my friends and family.”
