The Numbers

This track was born from a real headline: The human and economic cost of the first 17 days: casualties, spending, displacement, oil prices. The lyrics weave in verified details — 7 American service members killed; 1000+ Iranian casualties; 175 killed in school strike. Majik delivers the report through lo-fi, letting the data hit as hard as the beat. Lines like "Seven American soldiers dead in seventeen days" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — contemplative, steady, clear — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
