Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright: Dream Requiem (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Rufus Wainwright is a Juno-winning, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter whose lush, theatrical pop harks back to the traditions of Tin Pan Alley, cabaret, and even opera. He emerged with his acclaimed self-titled debut in 1998. Quickly rising from club residencies to international headliner status, his fifth studio album, 2007's Release the Stars, became his most commercially successful to date, with a reach that included the Top 30 of the Billboard 200 and as high as the Top Five in the U.K. and Norway. Demonstrating his appreciation for the vocal era as well as for her standing as a gay icon, he delivered the Judy Garland tribute Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall – his first live album – that same year. Challenging his composing and arranging skills, he premiered his first opera, Prima Donna, in 2009 (a recording followed in 2015), and 2016's Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets set select poems to Wainwright's music. It included such esteemed guests as Helena Bonham Carter, Carrie Fisher, and Florence + the Machine's Florence Welch. Wainwright returned with his first pop album in eight years, Unfollow the Rules, in 2020. A diverse set of covers, 2023's Folkocracy embraced his family's folk roots beside guests as diverse as John Legend, Sheryl Crow, and Nicole Scherzinger.

Rufus McGarrigle Wainwright was born in New York's Hudson Valley in 1973. The son of folk music luminaries Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, his parents divorced while he was a child, and he was raised by his mother in Montreal. Beginning his piano studies at age six, by 13 he was touring with his mother, aunt Anna, and his sister Martha in a group billed as the McGarrigle Sisters and Family. A year later, Wainwright was nominated for a Juno for Most Promising Young Artist, while his "I'm A-Runnin'" was concurrently nominated for a Genie for Best Song in a Film (1988's Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller).
