JACKSON WANG SOPHOMORE ALBUM MAGIC MAN OUT NOW

WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BLUE” HERE

Singer, performer and producer Jackson Wang’s sophomore album MAGIC MAN is out today September 9th via TEAM WANG records/88rising Records/Warner Records/RYCE MUSIC GROUP. The album features 10 tracks including the newly released “Blue” and previously released “Blow” and “Cruel,” both of which were described as having “a dark and plodding swagger” by People.

Inspired by 70s rock, MAGIC MAN is an energetic and gritty exploration of toxic love and self-discovery. The MAGIC MAN persona is truly a new horizon for Jackson, allowing him to showcase a side of him his fans have never seen. Produced by Jackson Wang, Daryl K, and Henry Cheung, MAGIC MAN finds Jackson at his most vulnerable – operating under the laws of mystery, temptation, and confusion.

 

Watch the music video for “Blue,” directed by Jenna Marsh (Dua Lipa, Lauv), HERE.  Listen/stream the album HERE.

 

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

 

The album has already received critical acclaim from the likes of UPROXX who raved its “…a more raw and honest version of himself, one that feels true to his current moment.” You can check out Jackson’s candid interview about the album with People HERE, and his interview about the influences behind the album with Consequence. 

 

The fiery music video for Jackson’s current single “Cruel,” has amassed over 10 million views to date and skyrocketed to #1 on the US iTunes music video chart on the day of release. Additionally, “Blow” has reached nearly 30M video views to date, becoming one of Jackson’s top performing videos.

 

Earlier this year, Jackson made an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, showcasing his undeniably charming personality and inspiration behind MAGIC MAN. He also opened up about his vulnerability in a digital exclusive here.

 

Jackson made 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. You can watch him getting ready for the festival with VOGUE HERE.

 

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.

B’lue lets you #LiveToFeel

Through the Live To Feel movement, the Filipino millennialscelebrated who they are. Thousands created unique Live To Feel portraits, making a powerful statement about how we define ourselves through the many feelings we have and the actions we do.

February 21, 2015 a generation came together to become part of a massive, youth-inspired collaborative exhibit. The faces and statements of those who participated were made prominent on towering installations, along walkways, and even on the face of a building. Live To Feel grew larger than anyone could imagine.Live To Feel brought to light the question of what allows us to live to feel—to feel fully alive and enabled to take in every experience, every moment, and every feeling.

For this, there’s B’lue, a new drink experience specially designed for our way of life. B’lue upholds the philosophy of the Live To Feel movement and believes in the young generation who lives full lives and immerse themselvesin every moment through feelings, actions, and opportunities. Whether when we are tired or feeling great, it enables us to feel fully alive and move forward.

Three fruity flavors are available for Filipinos to experience: enlivening Orange, peppy Lychee, and inspiring Calamansi. Each flavor has a distinct taste made for different moments when you want to feel fully alive. It is now available in supermarkets and convenience stores in Metro Manila at an affordable price for your day-to-day refreshment.

B’lue hits the Philippines with a big splash at Eastwood Mall last February 28, through a giant interactive installation called The B’lue Zone, which enabled people to move in the spirit of feeling alive by making virtual water come alive. This unique and refreshing experience—made possible with motion-sensitive digital displays and 4D effects, and triggered with just one sip of B’lue—simulated how B’lue makes you feel fully alive.
