Just watching a C4 documentary on Rufus, and the choons they are playing are fantastic. Just looking for some opinions on him. Darvlay, you probably know something about him.

His dress sense is as good as his music. This year he has finally become his own man stepping out of the shadows of his illustrious parents. I'm not sure if I like or loathe his spoken voice though!

Actually, I've never heard much of his stuff to form a real opinion. He's well-respected here, that's about all I know.

If you ever want to talk about Dayglo Abortions though, holla back!

Its official. This guy is great. Although, listening to him, I always have a nagging worry in the back of my mind..."Does this mean that I now like Elton John? "

"Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" is great, as is "Oh What a World". Poses is my favourite album so far. In fact, all his songs are great. As Sir Elton 😞 expertly noted, Rufus' songs don't follow the typical format of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, refrain, etc. They're normally just a story being told. Its really not the type of music that you'd expect from a speed freak though.

You can listen to samples of his choons here...

I've actually seen Rufus in concert. He's a great performer.

I'm not a fan. He always looks like he's about to spit out 5 broken teeth. The music I'm not sure about, because I've only heard sound bites, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say I hate it.
