Release the Stars

by Rufus Wainwright

Release the Stars cover art

Executive produced by Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, this staggeringly ambitious album is a triumph of flamboyant, theatrical orchestral pop. Wainwright entirely embraces his grandiose ambitions, utilizing massive string sections and operatic arrangements to critique American politics while exploring deeply personal themes of excess and emotional maturity.
