t's the perfect opener to an album which unashamedly celebrates the spirit of the 70s and which Rufus calls "the most pop album" he's ever made. A bold, heavenly jewel in the crown, Out Of The Game', is undeniably Rufus, his honey-toned voice cushioned by gospel singers as it glides through piano and electric guitar. Affectionately referred to by Elton John as "the greatest songwriter on the planet" and praised by The New York Times for his "genuine originality," Grammy nominee Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright, but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theater, dance and film. Without a doubt, ‘Out of the Game’ covers all the bases. All in all, it’s beautifully delivered reminder that the wonders of Rufus Wainwright will never cease.
