Ray Wilson, in case you had forgotten, is the unfortunate soul who replaced Phil Collins in Genesis. On Change, he attempts to reinvent himself as a sensitive singer-songwriter. Needless to say, it’s better than Collins’ recent stinker?but that’s not saying much.

Things look up once the attempts to get on the Radio Two playlist are out of the way. But by then, it’s a bit late.
