About The Record:

The Magic Friend, by 2 Unlimited, serves as a vibrant Eurodance single that blends high-energy beats with Ray Slijngaard's rhythmic raps and Anita Doth's soaring vocals, marking the fourth and final release from their breakthrough debut album. This track stands out historically as one of the early hits that propelled the duo's international fame in the early 1990s Eurodance scene, contributing to the album's global sales exceeding 2.6 million copies and their reputation for infectious, club-ready anthems. A unique fact is that its music video was filmed in the striking landscapes of Australia's Pinnacles Desert and Wave Rock, where the band discovered three of their singles charting simultaneously alongside the album topping the charts, adding a serendipitous layer to their rising stardom. Fan-favorites include the extended mix for its immersive dancefloor appeal and the instrumental version, which highlights the producers' innovative electronic layering. The single achieved notable success, reaching No. 1 in Finland and on Canada's RPM Dance chart, No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart, and No. 16 in Australia.
