What begins as a quirky and intimate ode to spending a birthday alone, soon evolves into a boldly poignant and heartbreaking expression of isolation and disconnection. Eddie Wang masters the unexpected once again, with the beautifully captured piano-pop ballad I Bought Myself A Cake.
Eddie Wang
This time of year always brings back the best melodies and memories combined. A fresh twist on the classic dynamic is more than welcome, and Eddie Wang’s version of It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas is a genuine pleasure to let play this season.
The song explores the story of a brief romance that appeared with the promise of longevity and depth, before being snatched away by an unexpected change of heart.
The whole thing feels like a modern-day take on the classic love song, with dashes of Jazz, Pop and Neo-classical design all intertwined throughout.
