In G.W. Pabst’s film Pandora’s Box, Louise Brooks played the beautiful and doomed Lulu, and in the process, created an icon. Rufus Wainwright has titled his sixth studio album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu in homage to the character, and the listener does not require a deep delve into his bio to see why. Widely considered beautiful and doomed himself since his debut a dozen years ago, Wainwright knows the subject matter of the tragic heroine intimately.
This really highlights Wainwright's extraordinary prowess on the ivories (something that has been somewhat lost in recent years), not to mention the emotive power of his vocal, yet it may have worked better as a 5 or 6 track EP. Do we really need renditions of 3 Shakespeare sonnets, Rufus? Answer: Not really, no.
