Roger Taylor - Violence Insane in a Beautiful World (Earth Blue Vinyl)

180g Earth Blue Vinyl

Here Violence Insane in a Beautiful World is pressed on one 180-gram LP in Earth Blue vinyl, with five songs on each side. The jacket carries the album's cover art, a blue Earth rising behind the curve of a cratered moon. Earth Blue is one of three vinyl editions of the album, alongside black vinyl and a limited picture disc, and the record was also issued on CD and cassette.

Side one opens with "A Beautiful World," which Louder reports was inspired by a photograph of Earth taken from space. The Ndlovu Youth Choir, from Limpopo, South Africa, sings on that opener and on the last two songs of side two. Their Zulu-language version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" led to the collaboration.

On the album's theme, Taylor has said: "There seems to be all this insanity at the moment. The violence in the world seems to be as bad as it ever was."

"Come On Summer (It's Party Time)" was released as the first single on June 10, 2026, the day the album was announced. The video for "A Beautiful World," shown above, was made with the eco-design label VIN + OMI and premiered at their ANARCHY show during London Fashion Week, where Taylor made his catwalk debut.
