Magic Number’s Badly Written Songs is a masterclass in soulful, jazz-infused deep house, crafted by UK producer and bassist Ross Hillard. Released via Atjazz Record Company, this album is anything but "badly written"—the title is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the transient nature of electronic music. Hillard, known for his collaborations with Louie Vega, DJ Spen, Kerri Chandler, Lay-Far, and Atjazz, delivers a collection of meticulously structured tracks that blend live instrumentation with high-end production, reflecting his extensive experience in sound engineering and music production.

The album features standout tracks like “Good Morning Sunshine” and “Loving You,” both showcasing the emotive vocals of Sophia Marshall. “Good Morning Sunshine” opens the album with jazz-inspired drums and live horns, building to an exhilarating crescendo, while “Loving You” offers a bouncing house composition that narrates the complexities of love. Other notable tracks include “Better,” which critiques modern digital distractions, and “Exit,” a contemplative closing piece. Pressed on a gatefold LP, Badly Written Songs is a must-have for collectors and DJs seeking a sophisticated addition to their deep house and soulful grooves collection.
