For anyone who’s ever felt lost inside their own head.
Today, MAGDA NOVELS releases her haunting new single and video, “HOUSE OF MIRRORS” — and if you’ve ever struggled to recognize yourself in the reflection staring back, this one will hit home. Come for the music. Stay for the connection. Magda Novels writes the things you haven’t yet found the words for — and delivers them in a voice that’s both raw and comforting, like a hand reaching through the fog.
Hailing from Umeå, Sweden, MAGDA NOVELS is an indie folk-pop singer-songwriter drawing from the atmospheric vulnerability of Emiliana Torrini, the sharp honesty of Big Thief, and the soul-stirring clarity of Ane Brun. Her songs explore the messy beauty of being human, especially when holding onto who you are is hard. “A mirror maze inside my mind. Every move I make, another reflection twisted to absurdity.” — Magda Novels.
“HOUSE OF MIRRORS” is an introspective dialogue, each verse like a slow dance between freedom and fear. The lyrics use the metaphor of a haunted mirror maze to express the disorienting feeling of losing sight of who you are in a world of projections, doubt, and noise. It’s a song for the overthinkers, the quiet feelers, those who’ve looked in the mirror and wondered, “Is this me?”
The accompanying video brings this to life. In a mist-veiled hall of mirrors and peeling beauty, a young woman floats, wrapped in glistening deadstock tulle and organza. Light dances on her sleeves, made for movement. As the song swells to a breathtaking climax, windows echo her every step. It’s delicate, defiant, and unforgettable. Magda Novels doesn’t write for the mainstream. She writes for those who feel too much, for those stuck between silence and expression. Her music speaks to identity, self-doubt, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.
In a world of polished surfaces, she dares to show the cracks, and that’s what makes her shine. “HOUSE OF MIRRORS” is out now on all digital en streaming media platforms.
