Rufus Wainwright announced his new album and shared this new single, which he says “is an homage to Joni Mitchell in some ways. Rufus says “Damsel In Distress’ is an homage to Joni Mitchell in some ways,” says Wainwright, “particularly the structure. 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.”
My new single “Damsel In Distress”, from my upcoming new Album, titled “Unfollow The Rules”, is out now! Watch the fully hand-drawn animated music video by myself and the incredible Josh Shaffner and order the album now! There’s so much more to come – welcome to a brand new era!
