{"product_id":"release-the-stars","title":"Release The Stars","description":"Amazon.com\n\nRecorded in Berlin and executive produced by the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, Rufus Wainwright's fifth album offers an ounce of restraint from the man that dressed up as Sir Lancelot's crossed girlfriend Lady Shallott on the cover of his last. Well, not really. Having fallen in love and curbed his self-destructive streak, the New York-born singer-songwriter has certainly sharpened his wit on Release the Stars but the songs remain as ornate and over-the-top as ever, drawing as much inspiration from opera and the musical theater as the desire to purge personal demons. So while Wainwright spends considerable time here pondering the state of the world (\"Going to a Town\") and his own battles with drug and sexual addiction (\"Sanssouci\"), every note is punctuated by a choir, orchestral swell, or big burst of brass. It wouldn't be Rufus with anything less. --Aidin Vaziri\n\nProduct description\n\nCd \u0026gt; Popular Music \u0026gt; Rock Cd \u0026gt; Popular Music \u0026gt; Rock \u0026amp; Pop\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000O78LH8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000O78LH8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rufus Wainwright\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
