Rufus Wainwright announces Mark Ronson-produced new album, 'Out Of The Game'

by Nicole Villeneuve

Rufus Wainwright will return later this year with new album Out Of The Game, and he’s announced some of the details behind it, including its big-name producer, Mark Ronson.

“[It’s] the most pop album I’ve ever made,” Wainwright said in a statement, while Ronson called it “the best work of my career.”

Along with the Ronson, Wainwright brought guests such as WIlco’s Nels Cline, the Dap-Kings, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner, Sean Lennon, and Martha Wainwright. The album was recorded last fall in New York, and while a North American release hasn’t been confirmed, it has a release date of April 23 in the UK. [via Exclaim!]
