Rufus Wainwright - Me And Liza

 

It appears Rufus Wainwright has reached the "greatest hits" period of his career.  He's releasing a compilation album, titled Vibrate: The Best Of Rufus Wainwright, on March 3.  There's going to be the standard eighteen track edition and a deluxe double-disc collection with plenty of extra rarities.  Both versions will include the newly recorded song "Me And Liza", which is serving as something of a lead single and extra buying incentive.  It's a very Rufus track as far as expectations go, with dramatically soaring vocals and a chorus that could've been included on 2012's Out Of The Game.  It's slightly adult contemporary at first listen, but the melody will sneak into your subconscious after a little while.

 

Rufus is supporting the album release by going on a "Best Of" tour.  You can find the complete list of dates and cities here.  Vibrate will be out on March 3, via Universal.  You can pre-order the album here.
