Magda Novels

Magda Novels is the musical alter ego of Swedish singer-songwriter Magda Andersson, known for her powerful vocals, emotive storytelling, and dynamic stage presence. Blending elements of folk, indie, and rock, her music dives deep into themes of vulnerability, introspection, and emotional resilience — always with a raw and fearless edge.

Before launching her solo project, Magda gained international recognition as the frontwoman of the folk-pirate band Ye Banished Privateers, performing at major festivals across Europe. That experience helped shape her captivating live energy, which she now channels into a more intimate and atmospheric sound with Magda Novels.

Formed in 2022, Magda Novels merges acoustic instrumentation with layered electric guitar, synths, and haunting melodies to create an immersive sonic landscape. Drawing influence from legendary artists like Patti Smith and Joni Mitchell, Magda embraces artistic risk and emotional depth in her songwriting. Her music is rooted in the storytelling traditions of Sweden, yet resonates globally with its timeless emotional honesty.

Magda released her debut EP in 2023, and in 2025 she released her full album “Shadow Work,” which received critical acclaim and positive reviews internationally. In June 2025, she also released the single “House of Mirrors,” a deeply personal song accompanied by a striking music video. The track explores themes of identity, distortion, and the struggle to see oneself clearly.

Magda Novels is flexible and available as a solo artist, duo, or full band, making her suitable for a wide range of venues and festivals.
