 | | Description: | Rock icon and multi-instrumentalist Roger Taylor introduces his brand new solo album Outsider.
Although the drummer has released occasional solo tracks reflecting his worldview and observations â?? including Journeyâ??s End, Gangsters Are Running This World and most recently last yearâ??s Isolation, written and recorded in response to lockdown â?? Outsider represents Taylorâ??s first album of new material since 2013â??s Fun On Earth.
With much of Outsider recorded during lockdown, this new album finds Taylor in a reflective mood, conveying a palpable sense of isolation, concerns over the passing of time, and perhaps tellingly dedicated â??to all the outsiders, those who feel left on the sidelinesâ?.
A highly personal project, Outsiderâ??s instrumentation is almost entirely performed by Taylor, with the drummerâ??s largely restrained vocals matching the mood-piece atmosphere. But Taylor does cut loose with the almost-punk More Kicks, along with a BIG surprise retread of a classic 1965 novelty song â?? exactly the fun on earth we need in these challenging times. - Rock icon and multi-instrumentalist Roger Taylor introduces his 2021 solo album Outsider. With much of Outsider recorded during lockdown, this album finds Taylor in a reflective mood, conveying a palpable sense of isolation, concerns over the passing of time, and tellingly dedicated "to all the outsiders, those who feel left on the sidelines". A highly personal project, Outsider's instrumentation is almost entirely performed by Taylor, with his vocals matching the mood-piece atmosphere.Issued in a digipak."Outsider" is a solo album on CD by Roger Taylor, the legendary drummer and songwriter of Queen, presented here in a focused, contemporary studio production. The record captures Taylor's distinctive blend of rock, melodic pop and reflective ballads, with a strong emphasis on mood, atmosphere and lyrical introspection. Arranged around his unmistakable voice and rhythmic instinct, "Outsider" combines driving, guitar-based tracks with more intimate, piano- and synth-coloured moments, creating a varied yet cohesive listening experience for fans of classic rock with a modern edge.
Thematically, the album circles around feelings of isolation, change and resilience, often with a personal, contemplative tone. Carefully crafted production gives the songs clarity and depth: tight drums, warm bass lines, layered guitars and subtle electronic textures support Taylor's storytelling without overshadowing it. Whether in anthemic choruses or quiet, reflective passages, "Outsider" showcases a veteran artist still pushing himself creatively, speaking to long-time Queen followers as well as listeners discovering his solo work for the first time.
As a solo artist, Roger Taylor has built an impressive catalogue alongside his world-famous work with Queen. Beyond being one of rock's most influential drummers, he wrote or co-wrote several of Queen's iconic songs and has released multiple solo albums and side projects that reveal his talent as singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. With "Outsider", he further underlines his status as a versatile songwriter capable of blending stadium-sized hooks with intimate, personal songwriting, confirming his enduring relevance in rock music.
