Radio Magic Soul

Magic Soul brings together soul and Motown favourites as a dedicated member of the Magic Radio family. Its selection is centred on the vocal performances, melodies and rhythmic character associated with that music. The genre gives the station its direction rather than a rule limiting every recording to one decade.

Shereen B and Sarah Champion are among the station's weekend voices, presenting afternoon and evening selections. The schedule also includes programmes with a more specific musical theme. Vintage Soul turns to early Motown and recordings from the sixties and seventies, with Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder among its reference points.

The disco strand adds a brighter dance-floor sound, drawing on performers such as Donna Summer, Sylvester, Barry White and Sister Sledge. A separate romantic selection and late-night soul programmes bring the pace down again. These changes of emphasis allow the station to explore several sides of soul music, from expressive singing and earlier recordings to rhythm-driven dance favourites.

Artist-led specials can add another perspective. For Black History Month, Lemar has presented an alphabetical journey through influential soul performers and songs. That kind of programme supplies context and personal selection alongside the regular music sequence. The station's range is therefore shaped by both its repertoire and its themed shows, with presented weekend listening, older Motown material and disco each contributing a distinct part of the schedule.
