Queen's Roger Taylor has announced details of his new solo album, Violence Insane In A Beautiful World.
Taylor's new record, his first solo release since 2021's Outsider, will be released on September 18 via Columbia.
While not a concept record, Violence Insane In A Beautiful World does have an overarching theme.
“It's in the title really," says Taylor, "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, and all these awful wars everywhere, and hatred born of different religions.
“It's a beautiful world, you know. And kindness is very important, I think, it seems to be forgotten quite a lot.”
The album's first single, Come On Summer (It’s Party Time), featuring The Ndlovu Youth Choir from Limpopo, South Africa, is out now.
