- The correct title of this article is i (Magnetic Fields album). The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
i is the seventh studio album for the New York-based indie pop band, The Magnetic Fields. While previous later-years Magnetic Fields albums featured a strong cohesive theme, the songs of i are only connected by their starting with the letter "i". As a result, frontman Stephin Merritt's lyrics tend to focus on more personal or first-person narrative stories than in past albums in which he tended to utilize techniques of gender reversal or seemingly intentional narrator detachment. In addition, all songs on the album are in alphabetical order.
Also, for the most part, Merritt ditched many of his past synthpop and electropop influences for an album led by guitars and strings.
