Rufus Wainwright - Unfollow The Rules

 

Rufus Wainwright's first pop album since 2012's Out of the Game

Features "Trouble in Paradise" and "Damsel in Distress"

Rufus Wainwright has announced his new album Unfollow the Rules. His first pop album since the Mark Ronson-produced 2012 album Out of the Game is out April 24 via BMG. Unfollow features "Trouble in Paradise" and a new song he's released today called "Damsel in Distress." Listen below.

"‘Damsel in Distress' is an homage to Joni Mitchell in some ways, particularly the structure," Wainwright said in a statement. "My husband and I now live in Laurel Canyon. I wasn't that familiar with Joni's music but Jörn became obsessed and took me on a journey into her music. We ended up hanging out with her and I get now why she's one of the greats. So it's part Laurel Canyon, part a song about a personal relationship that I'm trying to come to terms with, but mostly my Mitchell virginity being broken."
