Rufus Wainwright

recreation of Judy Garland’s fabled Carnegie Hall concert to the 2009 premiere of his opera, Prima Donna. All of these experiences inform his seventh studio album, Out of the Game, along with the input of a new collaborator, celebrated producer Mark Ronson. The results are the loosest, most accessible music of Wainwright’s career, retaining his distinctive narrative sense and wry wit while adding classic pop pleasures.
