Singer-songwriter Leah Halili and genre-fluid sibling duo Ysanygo are dropping their collaborative single, “Magical Heart,” on September 10, 2026, via Underdog Music.

After almost a decade of performing on stage together, Halili, vocalist and bassist of The Ransom Collective, and the duo are finally collaborating on a track.

“‘Magical Heart’ is a warm, R&B, indie-pop track centered on the vulnerability, longing, and sweet uncertainty of falling for someone. The song captures the delicate stage of a growing romance where feelings are intense, but the other person’s true intentions remain slightly out of reach,” according to the press statement.

In March, Halili and The Ransom Collective returned with their comeback single, “Tongue Tied,” marking nearly four years since their last release in October 2022. In 2021, she released her debut solo single, “Fourth of July.”

Ysanygo, on the other hand, released YSANYGO WORLDWIDE, Vol. 1 in November 2024, which is a “glimpse” of their debut record. The second volume was expected to drop within the first quarter of 2025. However, as of this writing, the duo has shifted its focus to live performances and active touring. No official announcement or release date has been set.
