Jackson Wang – MAGICMAN 2

 

Jackson Wang is a rapper, singer, and songwriter from Hong Kong, China. He is also a
member of the Kpop group GOT7. Wang currently has 2.1 million monthly listeners on
Spotify. His new album, MAGICMAN 2, released on July 17, 2025. The album contains
11 tracks and has a running time of 34 minutes.
The main track of the album is “Made Me a Man.” The song is a slower one, definitely
different from Wang’s other main tracks in the past. The song is about finding someone
who makes him want to leave his immaturity and youth behind.
One of my favorite songs off the album is “Access.” This song is a bit more upbeat and
definitely has R&B influences. It just itches the right part of my brain. This song is about
being attracted to someone and falling for them.
Another favorite of mine is “Hate to Love.” This song is slower and has funk influences
written all over it. The bass in it is just too good. This song is about someone who
you’ve lost trust in and has betrayed you.
“Sophie Ricky” is another favorite of mine. Again another slower song, but those funk
and R&B influences have a chokehold on me. It’s such a beautiful song about falling in
love and the support from one another in a relationship.
Overall, this album really surprised me. I’m more used to the music Jackson Wang
makes in GOT7 than his solo stuff. But I liked this album more than I thought because of
his funk and R&B influences. I highly recommend you give this album a chance!
