Blue Magic - Side Show Just Dont Want To Be Lonely

Review by Hugo Almeida

Side Show / Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely by Blue Magic: A Soulful Time Capsule from 1974 Alright, let’s dive into this little gem of an album. Side Show / Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely by Blue Magic isn’t just another soul record—it’s a vibe, man. Released in ’74 on Atlantic Records outta Jamaica (yeah, you heard that right—Jamaica!), it’s got that raw funk-and-soul energy that makes you wanna grab someone and slow dance even if no one’s watching. The credits go to B. Eli, J. Freeman, and V. Barrett for penning these tunes, but honestly? It feels like they pulled these melodies straight outta the cosmos. Now, I gotta talk about “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely.” This track hits different, y’know? From the first note, it wraps around your heart like a warm blanket—or maybe like regret after a breakup. The vocals are smooth as butter on toast, dripping with emotion so real you can almost taste it. And those harmonies? Gah! They’re tight enough to make you forget what year it is. There’s something about the way the singer pleads—he ain’t begging, but he sure ain’t playing either. You feel him. Like, deep down in your chest where all the feelings live kind of feeling. If you’ve ever loved hard and lost harder, this one will wreck you in the best way possible. Then there’s “Side Show.” Oh man, this joint swings! It’s got that groovy bassline that sneaks up on you when you least expect it, pulling you onto the floor before you know what hit ya. The rhythm is infectious—it doesn’t ask permission; it just takes over. What sticks with me most is how effortless it sounds. Like, did they rehearse this or just roll tape while magic happened? Either way, it works. By the time the horns kick in, you’re not just listening anymore—you’re living it. It’s impossible not to move, even if it’s just tapping your foot under the table at work pretending to be professional. Here’s the thing about this album: it’s short, sweet, and straight to the point. No filler tracks here, just two powerhouse songs that pack more punch than some full-length LPs. It’s like biting into a perfectly ripe mango—juicy, satisfying, and gone too soon. Reflecting on it now, I think what gets me is how timeless these tracks feel. In a world full of auto-tune and beats made on laptops, hearing something so organic and human is refreshing. Hell, I bet aliens would dig this stuff if we ever met any. So yeah, give Side Show / Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely a spin. Let it remind you why music matters—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. And hey, who knows? Maybe it’ll inspire you to call up that person you miss instead of staring at their name in your phone. Or maybe not. Your call.
