Three years after the release of his first studio album, Mirrors, Hong Kong singer and rapper Jackson Wang has returned with his highly-anticipated follow-up. MAGIC MAN hears Wang explore darker themes of mystery and temptation across ten 70s rock-tinged tracks.

Produced by Wang himself, alongside Daryl K and Henry Cheung, the album demonstrates Wang’s impressive vocal versatility, from raspy low tones to high-reaching falsetto notes. Showcasing the artist at his most vulnerable, the project is a far cry from those who know Wang from his musical roots in the K-pop group GOT7.

MAGIC MAN is the ultimate form of oneself, having gone through different peaks and valleys of life to arrive at the most authentic version,” Wang described the LP. “Everyone is able to become their own form of MAGIC MAN.”

Alongside premiering the project, Wang has shared a music video for the single, “Blue,” taking a surreal journey into the depths of the ocean.
