Guy Margalit Finds His ‘Space’ in a Psychedelic Soul Soundscape

W: Mandy Morgan

Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter Guy Margalit is poised to make a compelling statement with the release of his vibrant new single, 'Space' featuring the soulful vocals of R E L. The track serves as the groove-laden introduction to his forthcoming debut album, 'A DAY AROUND THE SUN'.

Margalit's music has long blurred the lines between alt-R&B and indie rock. Drawing inspiration from artists like Steve Lacy, Mild High Club, and Rex Orange County, his signature sound fuses soulful grooves, lush harmonies, and psychedelic textures into something uniquely warm, personal, and cinematic. As a self-produced artist, Margalit meticulously builds each track from the ground up—layering drums, bass, guitar, and synths into vivid sonic worlds that explore themes of love, uncertainty, and self-discovery.

'Space' finds Margalit venturing into a fusion of funk, psychedelic soul, and alternative R&B. The track itself is the product of deep introspection, as Margalit explains.

“'Space' is the first single on my upcoming album A DAY AROUND THE SUN,” Margalit shares. “I wrote 'Space' at a time of isolation and self-reflection. Sometimes you have to be alone long enough to hear your own thoughts again. R E L features on this song to help articulate the loss of control and importance of self-reflection.”

The resulting track is dreamy and expansive, built on shimmering guitar lines and buttery bass grooves. Margalit and R E L’s smooth, complementary vocals glide effortlessly across the psychedelic soundscape, layering together to create a feeling that is rhythmically infectious and emotionally resonant.

With its vintage soul undercurrent and contemporary edge, 'Space' is a bold, bright sonic statement. As the first taste of the full-length project, the single sets the tone for a compelling new era in Margalit’s musical journey. With 'A DAY AROUND THE SUN' on the horizon, Guy Margalit is positioning himself as a multi-talented name to watch.
