Above is the typically flouncy artwork to
Rufus Wainwright's forthcoming, Mark Ronson-produced LP Out Of The Game, whilst below is its perfectly swanky title track. His typically wry vocal whimsy is offset by Lindsey Buckingham-like guitar swoons and an overwhelmingly theatrical grandiosity as Wainwright Jnr. croons: "Look at you; look at you; look at you; look at you sucker! Does your mamma know what you're doing?", before disdainfully yet delightfully sweeping over sleeping with "a sea of men". Impeccably pieced together and without a single horn in earshot, this first peek into Out Of The Game proves a highly commendable crossing of swords.
Rufus plays the Barbican Centre Sunday...
