With his highly-anticipated new album set to drop in the coming months, Rufus Wainwright has now unveiled the next cut to be taken from his forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Alone Time' follows on from previously shared tracks 'Peaceful Afternoon', 'Damsel In Distress' and 'Trouble In Paradise' in previewing his new LP 'Unfollow The Rules', which is set to be released on the 10th July via BMG.
Speaking about his new offering, he said, “‘Alone Time’ is the end title of my upcoming album, 'Unfollow The Rules'. An old school record that attempts to take the listener on a rich journey through the myriad of experiences of this thing we call ‘life.’ It is my belief that with everyone and everything, ultimately, all conclusions are about solitude and the acceptance of that fact, and that often this is a very beautiful realization. But today, in these dark times, I’m thinking a lot about the thousands of people who, due to COVID-19, are forced to experience intense isolation at the end of their days in order to save others, and the incredible fear that that must entail. This track is humbly dedicated to them; it is a wish of hope and a prayer for grace that they feel some sense of joy and comfort in knowing they are performing such an incredible act of sacrifice for humanity.”
