Get ready for a sonic eruption! Multi-talented pop visionary MkX has a clear purpose before him and is more than ready to tackle every obstacle to get it. He is igniting the scene with his powerful new single “Man on a Mission. ” More than a catchy song; it’s a declaration of artistic freedom and a powerful anthem for anyone chasing their dreams. MkX has already proved he’s fearless and is ready to take the pop world by storm.
“Man On A Mission” is a pulsating blend of electro-pop, hyperpop, and R&B influences perfectly set to blow any speaker. Co-written with the talented and well-known Myah Marie and Brandon Colbein, the song delves into MkX’s personal journey as an artist. It’s a story of determination and a realistic reflection on the challenges he’s faced in the industry. When it comes to the lyrics, the song speaks of staying true to one’s artistic vision and being ready to fight against the pressure to conform. It’s a song that feels familiar to anyone who has ever dared to dream big and has had to work hard to carve their path.
MkX has told a little of what “Man On A Mission” has meant to him, “This song explains who I am, what I do, and why I do what I do. 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.”
As any person who dreams too big for the standards of what is known yet, MkX has surpassed criticism, having no other response but breaking the molds he was forced to fit in.
“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,” he explains.
The electrifying energy of “Man On A Mission” extends far beyond the audio. Directed by the award-winning Scott McCullough (known for his work with Prince), the music video is a mesmerizing masterpiece. Imagine a dark, sleek, futuristic world with a touch of 80s nostalgia – that’s the visual landscape MkX has created. Choreographed by Ian Mckenzie, a man who has been behind camera in videos of artists like Lady Gaga, the visual production feels dynamic and daring. MkX himself meticulously curated the wardrobe, incorporating a blend of outlandish high fashion made by Los Angeles indie designers and vintage pieces with sentimental value. The result is a visually striking experience that perfectly complements the song’s message of artistic freedom.
“Man On A Mission” is just the starting chapter of this exciting journey for MkX. He’ll be releasing a series of singles throughout the year, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. For him, the path is clearly set. His music has to be a sonic experience driven by high energy, that at the same time, keeps advocating for self-expression and individuality. You will be able to listen to more from him really soon, but also enjoy his powerful performances throughout the summer, since he’ll be taking his message to several Pride events, spreading his message of inclusivity and empowerment.
