To affirm a collapsing world nonetheless -- the drummer, songwriter and singer of the legendary rock band Queen comes back with his first solo album in five years! A certain theme runs through the songs of this work, which embodies the musical multitude (multiplicity and diversity) that Roger has consistently pursued throughout his solo career. "It is just as the title itself suggests. What a beautiful world we live in, so please do not ruin it. The present age seems full of madness. The violence in the world seems worse than ever, at least more than I have ever seen in my lifetime." On the other hand, the overall tone of the album is full of hope. "And yet, the world is still beautiful. I think kindness is very important, but it is often forgotten. That is the theme at the core." Roger himself composed and produced all the songs except for a cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." Ndlovu Youth Choir, a chorus group from South Africa that drew attention for its astonishing cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in Zulu, participates on three tracks. Includes commentary, lyrics and Japanese translations. *Since this product goes on sale on a Friday, delivery will be on or after the release date. Features Blu-spec CD2 format,
