West Australian hip hop artist Chani makes a daring return with her latest single Magnetic, a high-voltage release that marks a definitive shift from her traditional sound. Known for her raw honesty, lyrical sharpness, and unwavering commitment to empowerment, Chani’s newest offering dives headfirst into a genre-blending mix of Electro Pop, Drum and Bass, and Hip Hop — a bold evolution that feels both intentional and natural.

Produced by Rob Shaker, a stalwart of Australia’s iconic SBX crew, in collaboration with beatmaker BearHands (Eldin Hood), Magnetic delivers a polished, high-energy listening experience. From the first beat, the track pulses with intensity — slick DnB-infused rhythms intertwine with lush electronic textures, laying a magnetic foundation for Chani’s unmistakable vocal presence.

Where past releases like Finding My Feet and Life Sounds Like focused on themes of empowerment, social commentary, and self-discovery, Magnetic zooms in on something more intimate. The single explores the electric tension of desire, attraction, and connection. Chani’s delivery is smooth and confident, with a sultry tone that adds emotional depth to the already dynamic production.

While the song marks a stylistic departure, it doesn’t abandon Chani’s identity. Her voice — both literally and artistically — remains the centrepiece. She continues to confront the personal with clarity and charisma, giving Magnetic a sense of maturity and self-assurance. It’s a track that feels just as at home on a festival stage as it does in a late-night drive playlist.

With Magnetic, Chani doesn’t just reintroduce herself — she redefines herself. It’s a sharp and bold, high-style offering that cements her status not just as a hip hop icon, but as a genre-blending force to be reckoned with.
