With Release the Stars, his fifth album in a decade, Wainwright artfully establishes the intimacy he was reaching for, while creating a work even more ambitious in scope than his acclaimed 2004 release, Want Two. It’s as if he’s exchanging confidences one-on-one from the stage of New York City’s Metropolitan Opera House in the middle of, say, Aida. There is ravishing sound everywhere, yet it all serves to underscore Wainwright’s own performance as commentator, confessor, leading man. On this grand scale, his brilliant, idiosyncratic gifts as a songwriter and vocalist come into even greater focus. The emotions are heightened; his stories more vivid, dramatic, funny, real, and at times very moving. Release the Stars is as direct and personal as Wainwright initially imagined it would be. |
