Who doesn’t love a good breakup song? And it’s not just the specialty of Taylor Swift—songwriters have been lamenting the end of love for as long as there has been music. In this five-song set, musician Charles Ang sets the witty, poetic lyrics of Felix Cheong to easy-listening jazz music, with sultry vocals by the effervescent Nicole Verghese, channelling the style of jazz crooners from the 1940s and ‘50s. You’re in for a swinging good time!
