K-pop boy band GOT7 member Jackson Wang’s “Magic Man” has been named among the top 10 albums of 2022.
The top 10 albums of 2022 were selected by AP’s entertainment journalists.
“With an incisive, cohesive sound that harks back to ’90s rock mixed with ’80s synths, Wang’s record shows he’s ready for a leading role; the character he plays in ‘Magic Man’ is a debonair, seductive stranger who likes the pleasures of life,” according to the AP report.
It added, “The singer rises up to the challenge of delivering some sultry vocals off the back of classic guitar riffs in ‘Blow,’ ‘Cruel” and ‘Champagne Cool.’ But where it all takes off is the pop ditty ‘Drive It Like You Stole It,’ which lights up the discoball section of the amygdala. Some magic stuff indeed.”
“This is not real,” Jackson posted on Twitter when he saw the AP top 10 albums list.
