On 8 January 2016, Tok released his English-language Extended Play, Chapter 22, which was launched on his 22nd birthday. 'Chapter 22' offers pensive, openhearted stories rendered in a fair mix of upbeat melodies and ballad tones. The album choruses’ beautifully cinematic pieces, underpinned by a phase in life where you find yourself opening new doors but on the parallel, closing some. The composed exudes the most vulnerable and honest emotions as Tok sings with maturity beyond his 22 years. It brings you closer to home, where the heart is. Tok helmed the production of 22, managed and planned the record from Australia (where he's based), from selecting the tracks to the recording arrangement and the album art design. The record was supposed to have coincided with Tok 21st birthday, but was pushed back due to production and scheduling issues.
