Are You A Rufus Fan, Too?

No, not Chaka Khan's former soulmates. I mean Rufus Wainwright III.

I heard VH1 is streaming his new album "Release the Stars" online at my favorite pop culture Web site, Pop Candy. If you're interested, check it out.

He has such a nice, crisp, mellow sound that just captures my attention and cheers me up, and given so many speedbumps in the road of life lately, I could use a little mellow vibe or two these days. After hearing the first cut, I'm not sure how much smiling I'll do, but it's definitely attention-getting.

Enjoy!
