While the public awaits the release of Rufus Wainwright’s newest album Out of the Game this spring, he has released the title track as the first single and video. He ventures back into the pop music side of things on this seventh studio album of original work.
The video stars Helena Bonham Carter as a frustrated, maybe even repressed librarian “singing” Wainwright’s words. Wainwright gets in on the action in a multitude of characters include one in some Dressed to Kill drag. He even makes love to himself. Ironically, I think Carter anchors the video more and Wainwright is somewhat distracting in his own little movie. But you decide for yourself after the jump.
Out of the Game is scheduled for a May 1 release.
Bravo! Love this song and video. Carter was fabulous. That’s right, I used the f word.
Until I saw Rufus with HBC it never occurred to me how much he resembles Johnny Depp!
He’s so hot omfg
