It was the band's twelfth studio album and their first to be recorded digitally, and is based on the soundtrack to the film Highlander, the first in a series directed by Russell Mulcahy. Though the album stalled at #46 in the United States, it rocketed to #1 in the United Kingdom, remaining in the charts for sixty-three weeks and spawning 3 hit singles. The single "A Kind of Magic" only reached #42 in the US despite being featured in Highlander. The album eventually went Gold in the US in 2002. It is Queen's first album with a title track, and every album released thereafter also contained one. Although Queen would release another three albums with Freddie Mercury (including one posthumous one), A Kind of Magic would turn out to be the band's last ever album promoted with a concert tour, due to Freddie Mercury's affliction with AIDS. For the first time in their career, the band allowed cameras to film them while they were in the studio. The video for "One Vision" shows them in various stages of writing and recording the song.
The album enjoys the status of an unofficial soundtrack for the 1986 film Highlander (for which no official standalone soundtrack was ever released), as six out of nine songs on the album appeared in it, albeit in different versions. The three songs that did not appear in Highlander are "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure", "Friends Will Be Friends" and "One Vision" (which was featured a year earlier in the film Iron Eagle). Conversely, a recording of "Theme from New York, New York" made specifically for a scene in Highlander does not appear on A Kind of Magic, and in fact has never been released in album form to date. According a statement by Brian May on the Greatest Video Hits 2 DVD (2003), at least at that point, he had the intention to work on a proper Highlander soundtrack in the future.

A Kind of Magic
Queen Lyrics
(It's a kind of magic)
(It's a kind of magic)
(A kind of magic)
One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
(It's a kind of magic)
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
It's a challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
It's a kind of magic
(It's a kind of magic)
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
(It's a kind of magic)
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be
Will soon be gone
This is a kind of magic
There can only be one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone (gone)
Magic, it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
Magic, ha ha ha ha it's magic
Ha ha
Yeah, yeah
It's a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic (No way)
One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Is this a kind of magic?
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done
This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah)
There can be only one (one, one, one)
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done)
Magic (it's a kind of magic)
It's a kind of magic
Magic magic magic (magic)
(Magic) Aa ha ha haa, it's magic (Magic)
It's a kind of magic

Lyrics:
It’s a kind of magic
It’s a kind of magic
A kind of magic...
One dream, one soul, one prize,
One goal, one golden glance of what should be,
It’s a kind of magic
One shaft of light, that shows they way,
Mo mortal man can win this day,
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind,
Is challenging the doors of time,
It’s a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of Magic?
It’s a kind of magic
There can be only one,
This rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me,
I’m hearing secret harmonies,
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind,
Is challenging the doors of time,
It’s a kind of magic,
It’s a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be, will soon be,
Will soon be done
This is, (This is,) a kind (a kind,) of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be done,
Done!
Magic — it’s a kind of magic
It’s a kind of magic,
Magic, magic, magic,
Magic!

Hahahaha, it’s magic!
Hah-hah, yeah yeah!
Woo!
