ReplyDeleteOutsider is the sixth studio album by English musician Roger Taylor, best known as the drummer of British rock band Queen, which was released on 1 October 2021.
A homonymous solo tour ran from 2 October to 22 October 2021. The album was inspired by COVID-19 lockdowns.
Some of the tracks on the album are re-recordings of Taylor's previous tracks.
"Absolutely Anything" is another version of Taylor's theme for the 2015 film of the same name, while "Foreign Sand" is presented as a new acoustic "English mix" of Taylor's 1994 single composed by Yoshiki. "Journey's End" was originally released as a single in 2017, and is presented in a "2021 mix" on the album Taylor's 2019 single "Gangsters Are Running This World", written about Russian president Vladimir Putin and Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, is presented in two versions, with the "purple version" a more "aggressive" take on the track.
