Have you ever left home to take a chance in the big city? Michael Wong knows all about the fear, uncertainty and hard work it involves. “I grew up in Ipoh, Malaysia and left home for school and work in big Kuala Lumpur,” Mandopop’s “Prince of Love Songs” tells Apple Music. “The first time I took a plane was to Taipei to put out my record. I was at that mixed-up age when you’re hesitant about the future.” This playlist is one of four curated by the artist to celebrate Unique, his first album in seven years. Pay extra attention to one song in particular: “With my ears full of the sounds of the city, I’d be standing helplessly at a busy intersection when a familiar melody would suddenly pop into my mind. Elton John’s ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ always reminds me of when I left home, made up my mind about my future, and let go!”
