Rufus Wainwright has announced his new album Unfollow the Rules. His first pop album since the Mark Ronson-produced 2012 album Out of the Game is out April 24 via BMG. Unfollow features “Trouble in Paradise” and a new song he’s released today called “Damsel in Distress.” Listen below.
“‘Damsel in Distress’ is an homage to Joni Mitchell in some ways, particularly the structure,” Wainwright said in a statement. “My husband and I now live in Laurel Canyon. I wasn’t that familiar with Joni’s music but Jörn became obsessed and took me on a journey into her music. We ended up hanging out with her and I get now why she’s one of the greats. So it’s part Laurel Canyon, part a song about a personal relationship that I’m trying to come to terms with, but mostly my Mitchell virginity being broken.”
