Wainwright releases album artwork

Rufus Wainwright has released the artwork for his upcoming album Out of The Game.

The queer crooner enlisted superproducer Mark Ronson for the new album, which he describes as “the most pop album I’ve ever made,” while Ronson believes “it’s the best work of my career”.

Ronson’s previous work includes production duties on Amy Winehouse’s groundbreaking Back to Black album, plus his own top-selling albums Version and Record Collection.

Ronson has said Out of the Game “has a real 70’s, Laurel Canyon spirit,” while Wainwright cites “all the greats – Elton, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, basically the brash and beautiful. It’s also very Rufus.”

The album is released on April 20.
