Roger Taylor Announces New Solo Album
Roger Taylor’s new solo album Violence Insane In a Beautiful World addresses humanity’s damage to the planet and expresses admiration for the beauty of life on Earth.
Taylor recorded the album at his home studio in Surrey, England, and the project represents one year of work. The album opens with A Beautiful World, featuring Ndlovu Youth Choir.
The vocals of Ndlovu Youth Choir appear at both ends of the album, which closes with Come On Summer (It’s Party Time) and A Great Big Beautiful World. As part of the six planned shows for Violence Insane In a Beautiful World, Taylor will perform behind the drum set on some songs and at the front of the stage on others.
Taylor first performed Jealous Guy on BBC’s Later…with Jools Holland in 2024. The song comes from John Lennon’s Imagine album. Chump contains Taylor’s criticism of the current US president. Taylor says he has less freedom within Queen than he has as a solo artist and can be more political as a solo artist.
All four original members of Queen wrote hit songs for the group. Queen was formed in 1970 and has sold more than 250 million records worldwide.
