MBNEL RELEASES “FADEAWAY”

“FADEAWAY” OUT NOW https://music.empi.re/fadeaway

(Sept. 16, 2022) Today sees Filipino-American rap artist MBNel release his brand-new single “Fadeaway” via US label EMPIRE (Tyga, Fireboy DML, Tink, Jake Miller, Amber Liu, Alextbh, Afgan)

“Fadeaway” is a tribute to a fan he’d met who later on tragically took her life. MBNel confronts depression and suicide with melody alongside a melancholy piano and guitar in the studio.

Talking about the track, MBNel said: “As I was growing up, even with family and other friends, I’ve seen people deal with depression. This song is really dedicated to that. It is more vulnerable and something completely different from what I have done before.”

In addition to the subject matter, this is a very different record sonically for MBNel, where it showcases his ability to sing. This record includes a video HERE that was shot as a live performance. At the end of the video, a number is provided to a suicide hotline for those in need. The record was produced by Jemm. The song was co-written with platinum singer/songwriter CVBZ

This song, coincidentally, is released during the month of September which is suicide prevention awareness month. Half the proceeds from the single will be donated to a mental health facility that specializes in suicide prevention.

“I’m not afraid to delve deeper than what’s on the surface,” explains MBNel. “I make music like a journal.” From South Stockton’s 8th Street, Nel’s accounts of life can be grim. He achieved millions of streams through rapping about navigating the codes of the streets in the Northern California city, his Filipino-American upbringing, and trying to make a way through music. However, the 25-year-old is challenging himself and his sound. Songs like the 2021’s “Opulent,” “Shooting Stars,” and “Manifested” have been close to the heart while demonstrating depth and range that transcends rap music. Those three tracks—each at 2 million streams or better—have showcased Nel’s melodic delivery, honest songwriting, and ability to uplift audiences around the globe. “I’ve been experimenting with a whole bunch of different sounds,” he shares as he continues to amplify and expand a self-made career with a series of dynamic singles in the upcoming months. The Muddy Boyz/EMPIRE artist is planning one of his most personal and heartfelt songs to date with “Fadeaway,” as well as the Kendra Jae collaboration, “Toxic.”

In 2022, MBNel seeks self-expression instead of just another album. Focusing on singles, he says, “It allows me to showcase each song. Whereas a project, sometimes the songs I mess with can get lost or skipped.” MBNel is raising the stakes with care and patience. With versatility in his content and delivery, MBNel is flaunting the depth of his story and talent.

“Fadeaway” is now out on all digital streaming platforms.

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.

JACKSON WANG SOPHOMORE ALBUM MAGIC MAN AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 9TH

Singer and producer Jackson Wang announces the release date for his sophomore album MAGIC MAN, out September 9th via TEAM WANG Records/88rising Records/Warner Records/RYCE MUSIC GROUP. The album will feature 10 tracks including the previously released “Blow” and new single “Cruel,” out now with the accompanying music video with creative & movement directed by Jackson Wang, choreography by Jackson Wang and Vinh Nguyen, and directed by Rich Lee (Billie Eilish, Eminem, Lana del Rey). Both tracks brim with the energy of “Magic Man,” the seductive message to let go and give in.

“Cruel” is produced by Cambo (Doja Cat), Floyd Fuji (Kanye West, Anderson .Paak), Roland Gajate Garcia (Camila Cabello, Kanye West), and LOUALLDAY. Listen to “Cruel” here and watch the video here.

Jackson comments, "Cruel is a very special record for me. It really set the precedence for where the narrative of the album needed to go and sound.” He further states, “We were working on many records before this one, but we were struggling to find a clear direction. Cruel is like a manifestation of the environments and hurdles we had to overcome at the time. Every time we felt we were getting close, something slips past us and it all felt so far away. Once ‘Cruel’ came into our hands, it all made sense for us, it was like a beautiful mental breakdown.

Cruel’s grunge, and raw sound is exactly the perfect representation of the distorted and warped story that I am trying to unfold. It is the opus to a wild yet beautiful symphony."

MAGIC MAN follows Jackson’s journey as he finds himself in an alternate reality, operating under the laws of mystery, temptation, and confusion. “Magic Man” – the alter ego of Jackson – is transported to various realities, each bound by its own set of rules. This is Jackson at his most vulnerable - exploring what it means to be human and stripped away of any armor.

MAGIC MAN was produced by Jackson Wang, Daryl K and Henry Cheung. Preorder the album here.

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.
