Rufus Wainwright - Out of the Game (New CD)

Rufus Wainwright returns to the pop foray with his eagerly anticipated new album, OUT OF THE GAME, to be released May 1st on Decca. Produced by the celebrated Mark Ronson, this is the seventh studio album from one of the most accomplished, contemporary singer/songwriters today. Recorded in New York in the fall of 2011, the twelve songs are hook-laden, memorably arranged tracks reminiscent of Rufus early work, following 2010s more quietly intimate outing, SONGS FOR LULU. Musicians on the album include the Dap-Kings who Mark used for the groundbreaking Amy Winehouse BACK TO BLACK album and his own Record Collection; Wilco”s Nels Cline; Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Andrew Wyatt from Mike Snow; Sean Lennon and Martha Wainwright.
