Romanticism In Motion – RUFUS WAINWRIGHT Shines On New Album ‘UNFOLLOW THE RULES’

13 July 2020

Artist: Rufus Wainwright (New York born)
Album: Unfollow The Rules – his ninth LP or original songs
Released: 10 July 2020
Rufus:I hope it brings you joy, solace, comfort, happiness,
laughter, passion and maybe a tear or two. All I wish is that
you take an hour and listen to it all the way through, from
front to back.”

Rolling Stone writes: “Wainwright’s ninth album of original music, is a typically grand and jazzy affair with syrupy, smartly orchestrated songs of escapism, custom-hewn for people who think Burt Bacharach is too edgy and held together by Wainwright’s sweetly whining voice…  As with Wainwright’s best works, it’s musical theater without the theater and it comes with all of the good and bad that comes with stage drama… It’s a lush, grandiose place to be if you’re looking to get lost.”

Key phrase: ‘Romanticism in motion.”

Singles: Trouble In Paradise / Damsel In Distress / Peaceful Afternoon
