The enigmatic madman himself, Jackson Wang, has released the first steps into the next chapter of MAGIC MAN with “High Alone,” and an incredibly engaging music video that further pushes the themes and topics of the single beautifully and hauntingly.
Jackson Wang is taking things in a different approach this time around with MAGIC MAN 2 as the artist and mind-bender plans on releasing the album within 2025 and will feature 4 distinct chapters that attempt to tackle the different stages of grief. If “High Alone” is anything to go by, we fans will have an amazing listening experience that chooses to challenge our minds.
When it came to the announcement of MAGIC MAN 2, Jackson shared with fans, “I created ‘MAGIC MAN’ to figure out my pain, as a mask representing my darkest emotions, my internal emotions. I told the world “Find Your Magic” – they cheered. As I took roughly a year away from the scene, I kept asking myself and I realized I have never honestly asked myself that.
As ‘MAGIC MAN’ came to its end, I have experienced nothing but the crucial reality of what humanity is. I was in a very dark place mentally and physically. I thought I could never recover. I went through stages of avoiding it, facing it, being destroyed by it, letting myself rot, picking myself up, and trying to accept it. The only way I could release it was by writing in my diary.
Writing down how and why I was feeling the way I felt. And for the first time, I put my world into my music. This album represents being true to myself, listening to my heart, and accepting all the good and the bad. This is ‘MAGIC MAN II.'”
Not much else is known about Jackson Wang’s upcoming MAGIC MAN 2. But, I’m sure with the release of “High Alone,” we can expect a flurry of more information and singles leading up to the album’s release sooner rather than later.
