money Jackson Wang Sizzles in Fiery, Cinematic ‘Cruel’ Video: Watch
Jackson Wang embodies the title of his upcoming album Magic Man with a superpowered music video.
After the song made its live debut during Wang’s Coachella set with 88rising earlier this year, “Cruel” has finally been unveiled alongside a cinematic music video. The track’s rough, rock-pop production couples with a visual showcasing a fire-breathing Jackson fighting off a gang of soul-sucking female antagonists. In the middle of a burning city, the Chinese singer shows off his superpowers and super physique through rubble, ash and stones with all hope looking lost for the star until an unexpected twist at the end.
