Content


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.[3] Taylor's 2019 single "Gangsters Are Running This World", written about Russian president Vladimir Putin and Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro,[2] is presented in two versions, with the "purple version" a more "aggressive" take on the track.[3]


Tour


In October 2021 Taylor embarked on a fourteen date tour across the Uk. It started on the 2nd October 2021 at the O2 Academy Newcastle before wrapping up on the 22nd October 2021 at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire London. Prior to the tour Taylor said “For some time now, we’ve all just been trying to get by. Now, it’s back to the basics, myself and some great musical pals getting back out there to play some rock. Obviously we’ll include some of the Queen classic catalogue, and some of my earlier solo work, but we’ll also be introducing them to some of the new stuff. So we hope folks are going to come on down.”[5] Taylor also announced a live album to be released on the 30th September 2022 featuring live recordings of the Outsider tour.
