Want One by Rufus Wainwright.
This is a truly beautiful piece
of work. Made by a young man clearly born a musical artist.
Blessed with a rich and emotive voice that seems to clearly express his
personality.
A vocal tone reminiscent of Jackson Browne, yet more broken.
This is a uniquely New York sound.
Proper music. A theatrical Songwriters' product reflecting showlike themes
in it's orchestration.
The songs are each, in their own right, melodious and superbly arranged.
Making a collection of an album that is rare in quality of songwriting
as it is in production.
Yet he remains contemporary.
"I don't know what it is" is written about a party thrown by The Strokes.
A band which he greatly admires.
The songs do have a seventies feel about them in a way.
The great pianist songwriters, like Billy Joel.
Songs that are at least four minutes long telling painful stories of happiness
and loss.
This is one of the greatest offerings for many a year.
One of the best albums of songs since Radioheads' "The Bends"
Enjoy a collection of songs
from a true artist.
