Do you consider yourself a fan of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, or Selena Gomez? Well, you’re going to be delighted by what’s coming out right now! Following the success of his last track “Bright Side,” pop sensation and visionary MkX is now launching a dazzling new single/video “MAN ON A MISSION,” the first in a succession of singles going through 2024.
Written by MkX, Myah Marie, and Brandon Colbein, “MAN ON A MISSION” pulsates with MkX’s signature blend of electro-pop, hyper-pop, and R&B. Produced by MkX himself, the song asserts his life journey through music and fashion, showcasing his artistic influences, bold ambitions, and a fierce desire to express his unique individuality.
“I’ve always had a very strong vision of my artistry sonically and visually. I’m extremely determined when it comes to my music/visuals/career, so I wanted to write a song that serves as a lyrical artist statement. A song that explains who I am, what I do, and why I do what I do.” – MkX
Director Scott McCullough, best known for his extensive award-winning work with Prince, managed to capture MrX’s dark, sleek, and fierce mannerisms in the music video. McCullough’s intricate and imaginative direction brings MkX’s lyrics to life, creating a visual feast for the eyes and ears.
MkX curated a visually striking wardrobe for the video, blending the unexpected with the timeless. By searching the internet for independent designers and browsing Los Angeles stores for unique clothes that represented his style, MkX incorporated a lot of peculiar high fashion looks alongside some vintage pieces into the video. According to MkX, “I knew exactly how I wanted everything to look.” Crazy geometry, silhouettes, and exaggerated proportions are incorporated, giving it a fantastic, almost out-of-this-world look.
The dance moves presented were choreographed by Ian McKenzie, known for his work with Lady Gaga. This creates a captivating soundscape that evokes a kaleidoscope of emotions throughout the whole experience. The intricate and dynamic dance moves complement MkX’s electrifying performance, enhancing the overall visual experience and further immersing the viewers in the surreal world created by the video. There’s nothing quite like this experience, you won’t find it anywhere else.
In “MAN ON A MISSION”, “I touch on the things I’ve learned throughout my journey being an artist/performer since I was eight years old. It takes a lot of patience, strength, and willpower to stay true to your artistry and creativity. Over the years, different people in the industry have tried to change my sound and image to be less outlandish, attempting to ‘straight-wash’ me. I’ve been on a mission not only to express my individuality but also to show others how liberating it is to express yourself to the fullest.”
MkX’s upcoming singles, scheduled for release throughout the year, promise to continue pushing the boundaries of pop music. With each new release, he continues to solidify his status as a visionary artist, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. So, whether you’re a fan of pop music, or if you’re simply looking for something fresh and groundbreaking, MkX’s “MAN ON A MISSION” is a must-listen. Get ready to be dazzled and enchanted by this extraordinary talent.
