For those unaware, singer, performer and producer Jackson Wang’s sophomore album Magic Man (TEAM WANG records/88rising Records/Warner Records/RYCE MUSIC GROUP) made its debuts at #3 in Billboard’s top-selling albums the week of release.

The album also debuted at #15 on that week’s Billboard 200 marking Jackson’s highest charting album.

This all follows Jackson’s whirlwind year of making history at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as the first-ever Chinese solo artist who performed on the Coachella main stage as part of 88rising’s ‘Head In The Clouds Forever’ set.

Jackson also headlined this year’s 88rising ‘Head In The Clouds’ Festival (alongside the likes of NIKI, Rich Brian, and more) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.

As a globally acclaimed artist and a creative director, Jackson’s goal is to showcase a Chinese-influenced sound on the international music stage and highlight Chinese and Asian culture worldwide. In his ascent, Jackson has amassed over 55 million followers across socials.

Here on his new album, “Magic Man” – the alter ego of Jackson – is transported to various realities, and musically we first get the pop-funk of Blow and the arcing synth-pop reach of Cruel, they are in turn followed seamlessly by the dance floor burner Champagne Cool, the foot to the pedal, electronic-fare of Go Ghost and then comes the mid-tempo, slow groove-imbued Drive It Like You Stole It.

Next up is one of my own personal favorites, the veritably shimmering vibes and rhythms within Come Alive and the foot-tapping, R&B-flavored Just Like Magic, and they are in turn backed by the heavier rock fare of All The Way, the album rounding out on the R&B-soaked Dopamine, coming to a close on the yearning ache within Blue.
