Magic Hour is the fourth and final studio album by American band Scissor Sisters, released on May 25, 2012, by Polydor Records.

A song from the new album titled "Shady Love" debuted on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show on January 2, 2012, which features guest vocals from Azealia Banks and Jake Shears under his pseudonym Krystal Pepsy.

"[3] For the record, the band worked with a diverse list of collaborators, including Calvin Harris, Pharrell Williams, Diplo, Alex Ridha and Azealia Banks.

The Scissor Sisters are also credited with popularising the slang term Kiki, with its previous use limited to and created in the 1990 documentary film Paris Is Burning.

The band scheduled one show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York on May 6, 2012, and two concerts at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on May 16 and May 17, 2012, to coincide with the album release.

The shows allowed the band to debut the new material in a live setting, a week before the record's official release.

[13] Mixmag gave the album four out of five and said, "Smoky, slow-paced, disco soul with Bee Gees-style falsetto harmonising, it's the type of grown-up pop Scissor Sisters can pull off like few others.

"[13] musicOMH also gave it four stars out of five and said, "This is the sound of a band truly enjoying themselves in the studio, confident enough in their abilities to freely collaborate with other big names.
