There seems to be all this insanity at the moment. The violence in the world seems to be as bad as it ever was, at any point, and certainly in my lifetime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just horrific, a lot of insane violence. And we do seem to be fucking up the world, plastics in the sea, you know, and all these awful wars everywhere and hatred born of different religions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful world, you know. And kindness is very important, I think, it seems to be forgotten quite a lot. So, that is basically the sort of underlying theme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Produced, sang and performed by Taylor, the LP also features long-time collaborator Joshua J.Macrae, members of his live band and The Ndlovu Youth Choir.<\/p>\n<p>The album is available in a variety of formats including black, Earth Blue vinyl and a picture disc along with a standard CD.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The full tracklisting for \u2018Violence Insane In A Beautiful World\u2019 is as follows:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u2018A Beautiful World \u2013 Feat.
