Power Jackson, the Los Angeles-based artist known simply as Power, returns with a hypnotic, high-voltage single titled “Stigmata.” Following a string of acclaimed singles—“Cloud 9,” “Secrets,” and “Keep You Safe”— “Stigmata” marks another bold step in Power’s mission to electrify minds and bodies while continuing his transformation as a visionary artist.
Anchored by a pulsing beat and spellbinding lyricism, “Stigmata” explores the tension between sensuality and spiritual reckoning. Power flips religious iconography into a metaphor for desire, delivering lines like “crucifixion got you caught up / got you nailed like stigmata” with razor-sharp intent. The chorus hits with an irresistible hook—“I know that you wanna take me home / got you on f-i-i-i-r-e”—while verses oscillate between erotic control and emotion.
Recently, Power Jackson revealed that he was diagnosed with Waardenburg Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects pigmentation and occurs in roughly 1 in 42,000 people. The discovery came after he began experiencing extreme fatigue while finishing his upcoming album Eargasm and juggling multiple projects. His eyes gradually changed color—from a pale white to a light blue—prompting medical testing. Specialists traced the condition to a recessive gene inherited from his grandfather, whose own eye color had shifted late in life but was never medically explained.
Power paused all creative work, including music, film, and fitness, to recover. “For a few days, I was literally visually impaired. I couldn’t keep my eyes open and had to wear shades all day,” he shared. Now fully recovered and cleared by top medical experts, Power describes the experience as a wake-up call. “It just goes to show, no matter how far you get in life, you never know what the universe has in store.” He calls it a spiritual turning point—one that’s deepened his purpose and strengthened his creative vision.
Power cites icons like Tupac, Nipsey Hussle, 50 Cent, and Eminem as influences—not just for their sound, but for how they overcame. Like them, Power Jackson builds community through truth. “Stigmata” is a declaration of arrival from an artist who’s been through the fire and is now setting stages ablaze.
