From Roger Bong:
“Showing his appreciation for one of the greatest vocal acts of all time, producer Roger Bong (RogB) builds upon Blue Magic’s self-titled LP to create new music founded in the same smooth and honest sound.
Ode to Blue Magic is not a collection of remixes or versions, but an album inspired by the group’s classic 1974 debut album, Blue Magic.”

“It’s hard to do justice for something so near perfection. But I tried. I must be insane to think I could stumble upon something like this—in truth this could never be as real as i want it. But I tried… What’s come over me?
Ode to Blue Magic.
You see, Blue Magic’s 1974 debut has gone through some changes. I’ve never been to heaven, but I’ve spent the night with Blue…and it always feels so alive, young and infinite. It’s truly Magic. After playing their album countless times, I just kept on wondering how I could show my respect for such a beautiful record. So here it is. There’s nothing wrong with your ears, they aren’t deceiving you. This is Ode to Blue Magic, and it’s my way of showing appreciation to one of the greatest soul groups of all time.”
