**Black Magic** is a Lashardian girl group consisting of Dasha Danöoloff, Hila Krisögetti, Natalia Vronchinskaya, and Tesa Amirölovorchi. The group was formed during the first season of *The X Factor: Lashardia*, and came to prominence after being signed to Akai Music Group following the show.

## History

### 2014–2015: *The X Factor: Lashardia*, and *Freebirds*

Black Magic was formed during the first season of *The X Factor: Lashardia*, after each of its members were eliminated from boot camp as solo acts. Following their eliminations, they were brought back into the theatre and put into a girl group.

They performed "Falling to Pieces" at the judges' house in front of their mentor Pal Nigtöfoor and advanced to the Top 20. During the live shows, the group was consistently praised by the judges for their high-energy performances and charisma, and were liked by fans as well. However, they struggled for votes each week, and were in the Bottom 3 in weeks three and four. In week four, they were eliminated from the competition.

At the show's conclusion, they were announced as one of the two non-winning acts to be signed by Zaras Abdulöfarwa to Akai Music Group, along with runner-up Zig Novölark. They later released their debut single "We Made It", which peaked in the Top 20 in Lashardia and Pesa. Their debut EP *Freebirds* was released the week after and reached the Top 20 of the Lashardian albums chart.

### 2016–present: Debut album

Following the success of their EP, the group announced that they'll be working on their debut album and it will be released sometime in 2016. They took part in *Mösikalifestivali 2016* with the song "Damaged". They did not qualify for the final, placing fifth in their semi-final.

In August 2016, they released the single "In My Head" which was to be the lead single off of their new debut album after scrapping the previous one. The song became a top ten single in Lashardia.
