Princess Wonda Returns with Seven-Track EP “Magic Hour” After Five-Year Wait
Afrofusion artist Princess Wonda has finally delivered the project fans have been waiting for. After nearly half a decade since her last full release, the singer dropped her seven-track EP Magic Hour this August, proving the wait was worth every moment.
The new body of work represents Princess Wonda’s first complete project since her 2021 debut EP Fantasy Fair, and it showcases significant artistic growth. Magic Hour seamlessly weaves together Afrobeats rhythms, Afro-R&B smoothness, and soul sensibilities across its runtime. Thematically, the EP takes listeners on an intimate journey through love’s many dimensions—from raw desire and unshakable confidence to the vulnerable moments of self-discovery that come with opening your heart.
Princess Wonda isn’t just dropping music and disappearing, though. She’s been actively engaging with her audience, expressing genuine gratitude for how the project has been received. In a heartfelt Instagram post following the release, she acknowledged everyone who’s streamed, shared, or playlist-added any of the seven tracks. “Watching these songs find their people has been beautiful. And we’re only getting started,” she wrote, hinting that more is on the horizon. This EP also builds momentum off her previous sync placements, with “Bust My Mind” featured on Amazon Prime Video’s Harlem and “Bank Stops” landing on HBO Max’s Young Love—proof that her sound resonates far beyond traditional music platforms.
With Magic Hour now streaming everywhere, Princess Wonda has positioned herself as an artist to watch in the Afrofusion space, blending genres with ease while staying true to her roots.
