[OSENWORLD] Jackson Wang, former member of K-pop group GOT7, officially released his second full-length solo album, MAGIC MAN 2, on July 18, marking a powerful return to the global stage.

The album follows his 2022 solo debut MAGIC MAN and deepens his artistic identity with a more mature sonic palette and personal storytelling. A sophisticated blend of rock, pop, and electronic elements defines the multilayered soundscape of MAGIC MAN 2, merging Jackson’s signature production flair with theatrical intensity and stage-ready power.

Unlike his previous works, MAGIC MAN 2 delves into raw, unfiltered emotions—from loss and denial to insight and healing—unfolding across four narrative chapters. Jackson noted that his goal was to create music not just as an artist, but as a human being, candidly channeling his thoughts on reality, society, humanity, and the music industry itself.

“The journey of MAGIC MAN is something we all go through in our own ways,” Jackson shared. “This album is not just a story—it’s a process of healing that I hope listeners can share with me.”

Jackson’s creative signature extends beyond music. As the founder of Team Wang Records and fashion label Team Wang Design, he continues to lead projects across sound, style, and storytelling. In late June, he unveiled the Life is a Race capsule collection in collaboration with the Billionaire Boys Club, founded by Pharrell Williams, reimagining motorsport culture through a contemporary streetwear lens. This aesthetic and artistic direction also shape the visual and sonic themes of MAGIC MAN 2.

Having made his debut with GOT7, Jackson has since carved out a unique global presence as a solo artist, building fanbases in the U.S., Europe, and Greater China. His previous album MAGIC MAN peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200, solidifying his place among the few Asian soloists to chart that high in the U.S. market.

Along with the release of MAGIC MAN 2, Jackson is preparing a new world tour. His MAGIC MAN WORLD TOUR previously sold out in over 30 cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, and anticipation is already building for what’s next.

MAGIC MAN 2 is now available for streaming on major global music platforms, and physical copies are being distributed via Team Wang Records and international retail partners.
