Studioalbum vor. Ein Werk, das als eine Art kreativer Abschluss seines gefeierten, in Los Angeles produzierten Deb\u00fctalbums Rufus Wainwright betrachtet werden kann, das dem Musiker 1998 den Titel Best New Artist im Rolling Stone Magazin einbrachte. Mit Unfollow The Rules l\u00f6st Rufus Wainwright heute sein fr\u00fches Versprechen ein. Vielleicht k\u00f6nnte man es sogar als Zusammenfassung und H\u00f6hepunkt all seiner bisherigen Alben ansehen. Unfollow The Rules vereint die besten Elemente seiner von Fans und Kritikern hoch gelobten Vorg\u00e4ngeralben und repr\u00e4sentiert Wainwrights gereiftes Durchbruchsalbum, mit dem er seinen Status als einer der besten Singer\/ Songwriter aller Zeiten untermauert. Musikstile und Vorlieben m\u00f6gen einem Wandel unterworfen sein; doch im Kern eines jeden Liedes, ganz gleich welchen Genres, liegt die wahre Kunst des Songwritings. Zweifellos z\u00e4hlt Wainwright zu den Besten seines Faches.<\/p>\n<p>Mit Unfollow The Rules l\u00e4sst Wainwright keinen Zweifel an seinem Ausnahmestatus als einer der wichtigsten Autoren im gro\u00dfen Buch des Songwritings, der diese Kunstform im Alleingang weiterentwickelt hat. Ein echter Pionier, was die Verbindung von opernhaften, klassischen Melodien und orchestralem Denken mit traditionellem Songwriting angeht. Ein k\u00fcnstlerischer Vorreiter statt jemand, der nur einem Trend folgt. Einer, dessen Name immer wieder als Inspiration und Referenzgr\u00f6\u00dfe von jungen Talenten von Perfume Genius bis Father Misty John genannt wird. Er wird von den gr\u00f6\u00dften Songwritern aller Zeiten bewundert; angefangen bei Burt Bacharach, \u00fcber Elton John bis Amy Winehouse. Er komponiert seine Songs nicht f\u00fcr den Augenblick oder einen besonderen Moment, sondern f\u00fcr die Ewigkeit. Sein Songwriting ist einzigartig und sofort wiedererkennbar, so wie auch das von Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young oder Paul Simon. W\u00e4hrend seiner \u00fcber 20-j\u00e4hrigen Karriere hat Rufus Wainwright seine ureigene Rhythmus-, Melodie- und Klangsprache entwickelt. Mit seinem neuen Album tritt er nun den Beweis an, dass er sich zu einem absoluten Meister seiner Klasse entwickelt hat, dessen Musik im wahrsten Sinne zeitlos ist. Oder wie es Lenny Waronker beim H\u00f6ren des Albums ausdr\u00fcckte: Du bist dein eigener Konkurrent. Es ist phantastisch. Du bist auf dem H\u00f6hepunkt deines Schaffens. Dieses Album beinhaltet die besten Augenblicke all deiner Scheiben. Man beginnt es zu h\u00f6ren und ist sofort drin. Es gibt keine niederen Momente, alles scheint an seinem vorgesehenen Platz zu sein. Und sobald das Arrangement einsetzt, tr\u00e4gt es alles noch viel h\u00f6her. Auf diesem Album ist Wainwright die absolute Harmonie und Balance zwischen Inhalt und Darbietungsform gelungen. Wurde seine fr\u00fchere Arbeit mithin als zu gestenreich kritisiert, herrscht heute ein perfektes Gleichgewicht zwischen s\u00e4mtlichen Elementen, die seinem lyrischen Narrativ und dem emotionalen Dramaturgiebogen des Songs dienen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Leonard Cohen&#8217;s grandson&#8217;s father&#8217;s album was originally supposed to be released in April. Due to corona, the release date was postponed to July 10th. Now #Rufus_Wainwright talks about the raising of leonard Cohen`s grandson<\/em><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>With Unfollow The Rules Rufus Wainwright presents his 9th studio album. A work that can be seen as a kind of creative conclusion to his celebrated Los Angeles debut album Rufus Wainwright, which earned the musician the title Best New Artist in Rolling Stone Magazine in 1998. With Unfollow The Rules, Rufus Wainwright lives up to his early promise today. Perhaps it could even be seen as a summary and highlight of all his previous albums. Unfollow The Rules combines the best elements of his previous albums, which have been highly praised by fans and critics, and represents Wainwright&#8217;s mature breakthrough album, with which he underpins his status as one of the best singer \/ songwriters of all time. Musical styles and preferences may change; but at the heart of every song, no matter what genre, is the real art of songwriting. Wainwright is undoubtedly one of the best in his field.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With Unfollow The Rules, Wainwright leaves no doubt about his exceptional status as one of the most important authors in the great book of songwriting, who single-handedly developed this art form. A real pioneer in combining operatic, classic melodies and orchestral thinking with traditional songwriting. An artistic pioneer instead of someone who only follows a trend. One whose name is repeatedly cited as inspiration and reference for young talents from Perfume Genius to Father Misty John. He is admired by the greatest songwriters of all time; starting with Burt Bacharach, through Elton John to Amy Winehouse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He does not compose his songs for the moment or a special moment, but for eternity. His songwriting is unique and instantly recognizable, as is that of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young or Paul Simon. Rufus Wainwright has developed his own rhythm, melody and sound language during his 20-year career. With his new album, he is now proving that he has become an absolute master of his class, whose music is literally timeless. Or as Lenny Waronker put it when listening to the album: You are your own competitor. It\u2019s fantastic. You are at the peak of your work. This album contains the best moments of all your discs. You start to hear it and you are immediately in it. There are no low moments, everything seems to be in its intended place. And as soon as the arrangement begins, it carries everything much higher. On this album Wainwright has achieved the absolute harmony and balance between content and form of presentation. So if his earlier work was criticized as too gestural, today there is a perfect balance between all the elements that serve his lyrical narrative and the emotional dramaturgy of the song.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/07\/09\/rufus-wainwright-on-brutal-opera-world-raising-leonard-cohens-grandchild\/ Das Album des Vaters von Leonard Cohen`s Enkel sollte urspr\u00fcnglich schon im April erscheinen.
