Going To A Town, will be available for download from April 30th with a special-edition iTunes package, May 7th. The video for 'Going To A Town' was made by visionary director Sophie Muller.

A stark, emotional, socially pertinent track of layered, richly textured sounds, it's the first song to be taken from the eagerly anticipated album. Written and produced by Rufus, who also orchestrated the track's luscious string section, the song also boasts Richard Thompson on electric guitar.

An opulent, sophisticated LP recorded between New York, London and Berlin, 'Release The Stars' is a welcome return for the artist who's widely regarded as one of the most respected and innovative performers of his generation. It also sets a benchmark in Rufus' illustrious career, marking the first time he's produced his own album.
