Want Two

Want Two, released in 2004 as a companion to Want One, expands Rufus Wainwright's baroque pop and chamber pop palette with ornate orchestration, piano-driven songwriting and theatrical arrangements. The album balances intimate, confessional ballads with grand, sometimes sardonic showpieces, blending pop rock elements and classical textures while highlighting Wainwright's operatic vocal delivery and literate, often personal lyrics.
