Sinds het voorjaar van 2010 knalt Mr. Wallace in volle vaart door Nederland. Retestrak, uptempo en met een poppy feel die je sinds No Doubt en the Selecter niet meer hebt gehoord speelt deze band overal de zalen plat.
Zangeres Renske de Boer en bassist Rudmer Gietema kwamen met het plan om een eigen ska band te beginnen. Het bezoek aan verschillende ska-feestjes heeft hen enthousiast gemaakt en het leek ze wel wat om zélf de muzikale gangmaker te zijn. Na enkele dagen had Renske de eerste muzikale ideeën klaar en met behulp van een akoestische gitaar en een keyboard kregen de nummers hun vorm. Een repetitie met de volledige band werd gepland en al snel waren de eerste nummers een feit. Binnen twee maanden werd een complete set geschreven en 'Knocked Up', de eerste single, opgenomen.
Vanaf de eerste optredens is het duidelijk dat de band een succesformule bezit: een opvallend goede zangeres, een knallend blazersduo, funky toetsenist en überstrakke ritmesectie, gecombineerd met een enorme hoeveelheid enthousiasme. Vroeg in het bestaan van de band doet de kans zich voor om in het voorprogramma te spelen van Def P en de Beatbusters. Deze kans wordt met twee handen aangegrepen en in een afgeladen Poppodium Romein te Leeuwarden valt de band op bij Jasper Bax van BOOMBAX Boekingen & Management. Er blijkt een gemeenschappelijke klik te zijn en al snel neemt hij de band onder zijn hoede. Dit samenwerkingsverband blijkt een succes en zorgt voor vele goed ontvangen shows in de rest van Nederland en brengt de band zelfs over de Belgische grens.
In het hierop volgende jaar profileert Mr. Wallace zich als een veelbelovende ska band. Er wordt indruk gemaakt op festivals als de Zwarte Cross en grote popzalen als de Melkweg en de Oosterpoort worden steevast op hun kop gezet. De band wordt uitgenodigd door de 3FM studio’s en ook worden succesvolle showcases gespeeld tijdens Eurosonic in hometown Groningen. Als kers op de taart worden verschillende popprijzen in de wacht gesleept. Met geplande studio opnames in het begin van 2012 belooft ook dit een goed jaar te worden waarin Mr. Wallace haar reputatie als bijzonder energieke en strakke feel-good-band waar gaat maken.

Mr. Wallace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my heart is really lonely
Just thinkin 'bout you baby
Gots me twisted in the head
And I don't know how to take it
But its driving me so crazy
I don't know if its right
I'm tossin' turning in my bed
And I still can't sleep
Thinkin 'bout your beauty it makes me
Weep
I'm feeling hopeless in my heart
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love
Baby
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling
What am I doing wrong
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Its just an illusion that I have in my heart
Now I know you're not my lady but I'm tryin' to make this right
I don't know what to do I'm going out of my mind
So baby if you let me kick it witchu
Then well maybe we could ride together we cud do it all night
We could do this all night now I don't care if you got a man
Baby I wish you'd understand
'Cause I know he can't love you right, quite like I can
Its five o'clock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinkin' 'bout your beauty it makes me
Weep
I'm feeling hopeless in my heart
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love
I love the way you freak it like that
I love the way you freak it like that
I love the way you freak it like that
Its an obsession
Hold up let me dream
Shorty got me feelin' serene
Where my candy, where my cream
Got your boy feel less supreme
Hold up wait a minute baby you so damn independent
Loving everything your representing
Got a lot of money, I love to spend it
And that's what's up and I don't care what people scream
No I'm blessin' when I'm stressin'
My superfly beauty queen
I'm gonna keep it saucy
'Cause my ma know how I do, mi corazón belongs to you
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling
What am I doing wrong
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Its just an illusion that I have in my heart
Amor
The song "Obsession" by Mr. Wallace is a deep and intense representation of love and longing. The singer is struggling to come to terms with his love for someone who may not reciprocate his feelings. He is consumed by his obsession with this person, which is keeping him up at night and making him question everything. The lyrics are full of emotion and vulnerability, and the rawness of the singer's voice conveys the pain he is feeling.
The chorus of the song, "Amor, no es amor, than what am I feeling," asks the question that many people who have felt unrequited love may have asked themselves. The singer is aware that his feelings may not be reciprocated, but he is unable to help himself.
The song's bridge expresses the singer's desire to be with the person he loves, even if it means going against societal norms or if she has a partner. The repeated phrase, "I love the way you freak it like that," is an acknowledgment of his attraction to her and his desire to be with her.
Overall, "Obsession" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the essence of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it.
