Jackson Wang is in Mumbai and is loving being back in India, again. Two years after his performance at Lollapalooza, the singer says this time is special. 'I am here as a person- to feel the city, meet the locals, and just go around being a human being, seeing with my own eyes and experiencing the traditional culture, food, sport and the people. Though I have been here two days, I feel I have been here for three years. The night life is amazing as well.' Actor Hrithik Roshan hosted a party to welcome Jackson Wang in Mumbai. Can we hope for a possible collaboration between the two in the future? Calling Hrithik a 'super legendary icon' Jackson says, 'He is a champ himself. I am not sure, he is super busy like everyone else. I've heard he is preparing for Krrish 4. Hopefully I will be in Krrish 4, where I come out and die right away,' he laughs. The singer has also embarked on a new chapter with his latest album, Magic Man 2, which is all set to release on July 18.

'This is more about what I want to say as a person. Am I the Jackson Wang the audience know, or the Jackson Wang I know. It chronicles my own struggles and the ups and downs I experienced when I entered the industry at 19 years of age. There is a lot that I missed out on in my youth and went on to experience and witness all that I did at such a young age,' he tells HT City in an exclusive interview.

Calling Diljit a superstar legendary icon whom he is a fan of Jackson recalls, 'I was so amazed with his impactful performance at Coachella and thought I would be blessed if I could collaborate with him someday. When I wrote Buck, I asked him if you vibe with it, please give it a try. He gave me such moral support and respect as an artist I have been lucky to have this experience.' The 31 -year-old Chinese rapper found his record label Team Wang in 2017. He released his first solo album Mirrors in 2019. His sophomore album Magic Man was followed three years later. 'I try to be me. Honesty and authenticity are the essence of my brand and music.

The song is his 17th digital English single. It serves as the fourth pre-release track from his third studio album, which is scheduled to drop on July 18, 2025. Unlike his usual performance-heavy visuals, the music video for Hate To Love strips everything down to the essentials. It features Jackson seated alone in a shadowy space, dressed in dark-toned attire, and delivering emotionally charged lyrics. There is no choreography or grand visual effects. Instead it highlights the stillness of sorrow and the weight of vulnerability. MAGIC MAN 2: An album in four parts MAGIC MAN 2 will feature 11 tracks in total, with a strong thematic focus on grief, loss, and healing. Jackson has confirmed that the album will be divided into four distinct sections. Each part will represent a different stage of emotional reckoning, from denial to acceptance. The pre-release journey began in February with High Alone followed by the bold, experimental GBAD and its trio of remixes. Jackson then surprised fans by collaborating with Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh for BUCK, a vibrant fusion of East and West. Now, with Hate To Love, the tone has shifted dramatically, reflecting melancholy and emotional struggle.
