Jackson Wang, the Chinese singer/rapper formerly of the immensely popular K-pop boy band GOT7, has leaned into an alter ego. On his first solo physical album, his voice has never sounded so pop-rock cool. From the palm-muted power chords of “Blow” and the slick guitar riffs and huge drum fills of “Cruel” to the Machine Gun Kelly-esque emo performance of “Go Ghost” and retro ’80s synth-pop of “Drive It Like You Stole It,” this is a high-octane, rock ’n’ roll Wang like we’ve never heard before. Recorded entirely in English, MAGIC MAN is explosive in its pleasures, a surprising evolution for a veteran performer.
