Our Take

Rufus Wainwright, the prince of piano pop, has returned with his latest album "Unfollow The Rules" and let me tell you, it's a bloody delight. This whimsical collection of tracks sees Wainwright at his most introspective, yet cheekily flamboyant.

From the opening piano chords of "Trouble in Paradise" to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Peaceful Afternoon," Wainwright's signature crooning vocals take us on a rollercoaster of emotions. With a nod to 70s rock and nods to his own musical heritage, Wainwright effortlessly weaves together complex melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

Standout tracks include the soulful "Damsel in Distress" with its infectious chorus and the nostalgic "Early Morning Madness" which transports you back to a simpler time. Wainwright's storytelling prowess shines through on every track, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and everything in between.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Unfollow The Rules." Wainwright delves into darker themes on tracks like "Hatred" and "This One's for the Ladies," showcasing his versatility as a songwriter.

Overall, "Unfollow The Rules" is a triumph for Rufus Wainwright, proving once again why he is a master of his craft. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of red wine, put on this album, and let Rufus whisk you away to a world of musical enchantment. Cheers!
