GOT7 member, singer, performer, and producer Jackson Wang just released his new cinematic music video for “Come Alive” from his sophomore album MAGIC MAN. The video features creative and movement direction by Jackson Wang, and is directed by Rich Lee. The release shows Jackson at his most captivating as he steps into the persona and world of MAGIC MAN.
Visually. The music video is a fresh take on the zombie theme popularized by Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, featuring the undead moving and grooving to the beat in a carnival. This is him in his element, a dancer in his own right, he is known as the lead dancer for his group, and has performed on the same stage together with the widely-known LA-based American Dance crew, Kinjaz. The ‘Come Alive’ music video showcases his knowledge and expertise in the craft, with Jackson delivering a performance borne out of his own interpretation of his track throughout the four-minute video.
Musically. Almost a cross between energetic pop-rock and sultry RnB, ‘Come Alive’ features Jackson’s light and airy vocal, contrasted and backdropped by a hard-hitting instrumental with rough-sounding guitars and bass-pumping kicks. It honestly kind of reminds me of something Panic! At The Disco would put out. Sensual to a point, it fits, with Jackson singing as if he is whispering in your ear, asking you to come alive.
The walls are falling again
I hear you calling my name
I want you
You’re the match and the flame
Oxygen to the brain (Yeah)
I want you
