Wong's debut album features a musical menagerie

LIKE the Chinese zodiac, there are more than enough animals in Dawn Wong's debut album Marco Lopo to fill a mini-zoo.

They are all part of her songwriting craft and something which she has been doing since young when she would give characters to stuffed toys.

The animals on the 10-track album have human traits and journey through life like us, complete with jobs sometimes. They include stargazing elephants, a shy hedgehog, a city-dwelling rat and a little hummingbird with a zest for life.
