Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen, has released his seventh solo studio album, titled ‘Violence Insane in a Beautiful World’. The project, released via Columbia, is his first studio work since 2021.

The album explores themes of social and environmental concerns, such as war, religious hatred, and plastic pollution, contrasting these issues with the beauty of the world. Taylor described the title as a reflection of the current state of the world, stating, “It’s in the title itself: what a beautiful world we have, let’s not ruin it.”

In addition to musical themes, the album includes political commentary. In the track ‘Chump’, Taylor criticizes Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The release also features collaborations, such as the single ‘Come on Summer (It’s Party Time)’ and ‘A Beautiful World’ with the Ndlovu Youth Choir. The music video for ‘A Beautiful World’ premiered during the ‘ANARCHY’ fashion show at British Fashion Week.
