Music reviews of Want One
Music Review: Want another...
Rating: 4 Stars
...another Rufus Wainwright release like this one. The songs on Want One by Rufus Wainwright seem to all have a feeling of celebrating heartbreak and longing. Equal parts uplifting and sad. I haven't heard all of Mr. Wainwright's work (I only have his debut to date), but this is by far the best work from him I've listened to. I've come to identify him as a piano-man/singer/songwriter in the vain of Elton John, Ben Folds, and occasionally Elvis Costello. There are also faint hints of cabaret and classical lieder in his sound. The tracks that really grab you immediately are Movies Of Myself, 14th Street and Beautiful Child and all are well crafted pop productions. 14th Street in particular, hooked me from the get-go with it's rousing chorus and big background vocals. Vicious World is a piece of music I find really fascinating, how it somehow morphs from its sound loop like intro into a beautifully layered ballad is beyond me. The string arrangements are great throughout this release. In particular Vibrate, with it's floaty staccato.
There are a few moments where I lost interest (Pretty Things and Want),mostly because I didn't find them as harmonically exciting as the other tracks. In the end, I find myself enjoying this collection of songs that somehow celebrates heartache, and the lieder-like Dinner At Eight fittingly ends this outing on a somber but defiant note.
Description of Want One
The third album from the precocious singer-songwriter makes an even greater grab for mainstream acceptance. Recorded at Woodstock, it features instrumental touches from former Bob Dylan guitarist and Texas legend Charlie Sexton as well as drums laid down by the Band's Levon Helm. Marious Devries (Bjork, Madonna, Massive Attack) helms the producer's chair on this one, bringing young wainwright a polished sound.Chamber Pop CDs
