The standard issue of Vibrate includes eighteen tracks that span Wainwright's career, from his eponymous debut album (1998) to Out of the Game (2012), plus one previously unreleased track. [4] The songs were chosen by Wainwright, his publicist and Neil Tennant. [5] [6] Tracks from Rufus Wainwright include "April Fools" and "Foolish Love". [7] "Poses", "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" and "Grey Gardens" originally appeared on Wainwright's second studio album, Poses (2001). [8] Five tracks are from his third studio album Want One (2003): "Oh What a World", "Vibrate" (the album's namesake), [6] "I Don't Know What It Is", "Go or Go Ahead" and "Dinner at Eight". [9] "The One You Love" and "The Art Teacher" appeared on Want Two (2004). [10] Two of the compilation's songs originally appeared on Wainwright's fifth studio album Release the Stars (2007): "Going to a Town" and "Tiergarten". [11] Songs from Out of the Game include the title track and "Sometimes You Need". [12] "Hallelujah", written by Leonard Cohen, originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Shrek . [13] "Me and Liza", previously unreleased, was co-written by Guy Chambers. [4] [14]

The deluxe edition includes a bonus disc with sixteen rare and unreleased live and studio recordings. Featured are "Chic and Pointless", previously unreleased and produced by Chambers, and "WWIII", co-written by Chambers; Vibrate marks the latter's first physical release. [1] [4] Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound described "Chic and Pointless" as a "disco-fied homage to Nile Rodgers & Co." [15] "One Man Guy", written by Wainwright's father Loudon Wainwright III, originally appeared on Poses. [8] The version on Vibrate was recorded live at KCRW in June 2001 and features Butch, Richard Causon, Jeff Hill, Teddy Thompson and Martha Wainwright. [16] [1] "Across the Universe" (Lennon–McCartney) originally served as a bonus track on a 2002 re-issue of Poses, [17] released following a recording for the soundtrack to the film I Am Sam (2001). [18] "Chelsea Hotel No. 2", co-written by Cohen and Ron Cornelius, was previously included as a bonus track for Want Two and was also featured in the film and soundtrack for Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2005). [1] [19] Other soundtrack releases include "The Maker Makes", from the soundtrack to Brokeback Mountain (2005), and "La Complainte de la Butte" (Jean Renoir), from the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge! (2001). [20] [21]

"Jericho" and "Montauk" were recorded for Live from the Artists Den in 2012. [1] Studio versions originally appeared on Out of the Game, as did "Bitter Tears", the opening track for Vibrate's bonus disc. [12] "If Love Were All" (Noël Coward), "Do It Again" (Buddy DeSylva, George Gershwin) and "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" (James F. Hanley), all recorded live at Kenwood House in London in 2010, [22] were performed on Wainwright's live album Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall (2007), a re-creation of Judy Garland's 1961 album Judy at Carnegie Hall . [23] [24] "Memphis Skyline" and "Martha" were also recorded at Kenwood House in 2010. [1] Studio versions originally appeared on Want Two and All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (2010), Wainwright's sixth studio album, respectively. [25] The disc's final track is a BBC interview with Jo Whiley, recorded at the Royal Opera House on July 28, 2011 for the program In Concert. [16] [1]

News of the compilation was picked up by outlets following the December 9, 2013 announcement on Wainwright's official site. [4] In the January 2014 issue of Gay Times , Wainwright said of the album: "I hit 40 recently, and in that time span a lot has happened. I lost my mother, I had a daughter, I wrote an opera, I'm married... so we've kind of come full circle. I wanted to return to a more industry-friendly stance and Vibrate makes a nice bookend. Sort of an encapsulation of my youth. I'm still vaguely young, but 40 is a whole other ball game." [26] An interactive sampler was published to YouTube and Wainwright's official site on February 20, 2014. [27]

"Me and Liza" served as the album's lead single and has been described as a "sultry, Bowie-esque pop-rock ballad". [15] The song premiered on BBC Radio 2's Weekend Wogan on January 12, 2014 and was officially released on January 20. [5] [28] [29] "Me and Liza" is about Wainwright's relationship with Liza Minnelli, [30] who was reportedly upset by his 2006 tribute concerts to her mother, [31] [32] American actress and singer Judy Garland. [33] Wainwright re-created Garland's concert album Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961), later releasing his own live album Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall (2007). [34] Wainwright said of the song: "I have to be very diplomatic with the track. Let's just say it's about legend and arson. It's very playful. A playful jab. Oh, and you know, possibly a hit?" [26] In Belgium (Flanders), "Me and Liza" entered the Ultratop singles chart at number 98 and reached a peak position of number 59. [35] [36] An official lyric video was released for the song on February 24, 2014. [37] [38]

Tour

On December 11, 2013, Wainwright's official website announced a 23-date "greatest hits" tour throughout Europe, during which Wainwright will perform in twenty countries in the months of March and April 2014. [4] The tour, called The Best of Rufus Wainwright, [39] [40] began on March 4 at Vicar Street in Dublin, Ireland. [41] [42] On December 20, it was announced that the tour would be extended to include two shows in France (April 23 and 25). [43] In January 2014, additional concerts were announced for New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco, [44] [45] plus Coventry, United Kingdom, extending the tour to April 27. [46] Wainwright's half-sister, Lucy Wainwright Roche, has been confirmed as the opening act for several performances. [47]

Reception

Vibrate has received a generally positive reception, with most music critics offering commentary on the collection's previously unreleased tracks. Fife Today's John Murray complimented the live tracks that appear on the bonus disc. [48] Pete Mitchell of Radio Times called the compilation a "wonderful compendium of his classic style and his experimental edge that makes him unique". [30] Nick Collings of the New Zealand magazine Rip It Up called the album a "delight" for fans of Wainwright's work and a "solid gold introduction" for those who were unfamiliar with his repertoire.
