VIOLENCE INSANE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD is the new album from ROGER TAYLOR, legendary QUEEN songwriter, musician & singer. Released on 18th September on Columbia, the album is preceded by the exuberant single COME ON SUMMER (IT’S PARTY TIME), featuring a stunning performance by The Ndlovu Youth Choir from Limpopo, South Africa, who first came to prominence for their incredible Zulu-language translation of Bohemian Rhapsody. VIOLENCE INSANE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD is Roger’s seventh album in a solo career stretching back to 1977 and is his first since 2021’s critically and fan-acclaimed top 3 album OUTSIDER. While not a concept record, VIOLENCE INSANE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD does have an overarching theme, as Roger explains, “There is a theme, you know, it's in the title really, what a beautiful world we live in, don't fuck it up. There seems to be all this insanity at the moment. The violence in the world seems to be as bad as it ever was, at any point, and certainly in my lifetime. It's just horrific, a lot of insane violence. And we do seem to be fucking up the world, plastics in the sea, you know, and all these awful wars everywhere and hatred born of different religions.” |
