Michael Wong’s Journey of Loneliness: Away From Crowds

“I was very timid when I was young,” Michael Wong tells Apple Music. “I would never have envisioned that one day I’d be a singer, standing on stage singing my own songs as a language to share the beauty of music with my fans.” While he has come a long way since then, Michael never forgot those feelings that include isolation, from heartbreak to healing, which are key to Unique, his 12th album. This playlist is one of four curated by the artist to celebrate Unique, and here, he’s got songs for the outliers and misfits. “At school, at work, or in any social setting, if you often feel out of step with the world around you, don’t feel like you’re the outcast, because everyone has a unique purpose.”
