  1. Leon Jean-MarieLeon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?

Rufus Wainwright 'Want Two'

'Want Two', released March 7th, is Rufus Wainwright's eagerly anticipated new studio album and the follow up to his critically acclaimed, 'Want One'. All tracks were written by Rufus Wainwright and like its predecessor the new album was produced by Marius De Vries and was recorded in London and New York.

Rufus Wainwright spent much of 2004 in the UK cementing his reputation as both a thrilling live performer and a recording artist on the verge of widespread public recognition. He toured the UK extensively on two sold out UK tours, the first with his mother and aunt, acclaimed folk singers Kate and Anna McGarrigle and sister Martha Wainwright and then with his own amazing band.

The new album truly is a musical tour de force and the perfect articulation of the qualities that define Rufus as an original musician and songwriter. Literate, impassioned, ceaselessly creative and innovative, 'Want Two', is another masterclass in classic songwriting.

More immediate and more adventurous in terms of genre than 'Want One', 'Want Two' is arguably his most accessible work to date. A number of the songs on the album were recorded as part of the original, 'Want One' sessions, however, the new album has its own very definite character. A few of the many highlights include the download only single, 'The One You Love' on February 28th with its breezy, mesmerising chorus, the evocative 'Hometown Waltz', as well as the anthemic, 'Gay Messiah'. Other stand out tracks include the luminously beautiful and orchestral, 'Little Sister', the haunting 'Memphis Skyline' written about Jeff Buckley and the ambitious and original, 'Old Whore's Diet'.
