On his second album, which comes seven years after his debut album, Roles (2008), Love 97.2FM DJ Wallace Ang shows he has a decent set of pipes for singing and, on a few tracks, some potential as a songwriter .
Opening number Suspended Happiness builds drama with a melody that has him shooting for the high notes: “Happiness that’s suspended/ Can’t embrace it, can’t shake it off”.
The lazy, jazzy vibe of Inconsolable strikes a refreshingly different note. However, it seems that the first half has been packed with stronger material.
As the proceedings take a dip with run-of-the-mill love ballads Good For Both Of Us and The You Before My Eyes, the record ends up feeling top-heavy.
