The sonic excellence of 24K Magic is no accident. The album was engineered by Charles Moniz and mixed by the legendary at Larrabee Sound Studios. The production team intentionally utilized an array of vintage analog gear, including SSL mixing consoles and classic synthesizers, to capture an authentic throwback warmth.
A mid-tempo synth-funk anthem driven by a pulsating, slap-style bassline. High-resolution playback reveals the separation between the live bass elements and the programmed electronic sub-bass layers. Jamareo Artis’ bass performance gains a physical texture—you can hear the fingernails striking the strings, adding an organic groove to an otherwise highly electronic track.
