Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of the darker, more eccentric material recorded during the 'Want One' sessions, this sequel heavily embraces theatrical orchestration. Wainwright's rich, operatic vocal performances playfully tackle themes of romantic heartbreak, family dynamics, and sexual excess, framed by lush string arrangements and cabaret-style piano.
