Elton John Reveals Excitement for Upcoming Album
and other albums of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. But I’ve always loved those deep cuts, even if they didn’t have hits on them. And when I did find a song that I really loved, like “Song For Guy” from A Single Man, it felt like discovering a hidden treasure. Created at perhaps the peak of his depression, addiction, and writer’s block, it was an instrumental that was obviously deeply personal. Shortened in favor of a de-amplified soul and vital spirit of connection that star Brandi Carlile and her crew can provide him with, it is more comforting here. The standpoint of an Elton John fan who happens to be the managing editor of a sheet of media, has reached to the celebration of this groundbreaking music. Intensity-wise, a Brandi Carlile collaboration would be greater than 1981’s puzzling LP, “The Fox”, which showed his stark brilliance with his inability to challenge his own pieces in an effort to swap out what wasn’t authentic for what seemed more obtainable. What is significant about Elton’s forthcoming endeavor is that someone else six times awarded at the Grammys will join him in this musical experience, definitely changing up layers and surfaces associated with his music. This is the polar opposite of John’s past merchandising momentum running down with time. As far as the prior years, I have expected that he might be releasing some music that would be fine but not necessarily groundbreaking. Being there on the other end of a music career spanning over five decades bearing tributes to more than 5,000 artists, Elton’s original way of panning the musical universe through writing and performance is striking, and his passionate features have remained constant. Most noticeably, the notion of infusing Carlile’s ideas reverberating from her long time in practice on drums and guitar with his keys and just south of heaven voice screams absolute symphony. This doesn’t solely mean that her consciousness and clearness will be a temporary fix for him as she can intrinsically encourage him to reach pure perfection and interconnection on the highest of levels. There is nothing more engaging than considering the prowess they will harness. It’s common knowledge of any ensemble is that there are multiples of shared moments of trial, courage, and fortune in a quest to make something that transcends previous works. The magnitude of John’s upcoming album cannot be understated bearing in mind that Carlile’s soulful voice partnered with his show business legend will thoroughly reshape the refrains that we are accustomed to. The enlightening nature of their partnership brings to the surface two foundational elements for all musical artists; to revisit the core of who they are and to prod the threshold required for enthusiasts to captivate entirely with the music. One can scarcely lessen the preeminent fact that what Carlile’s portfolio brings to the table is something that has never been before and something that will essentially turn Elton’s impending project onto a path which is uncharted. On this release, there is a lot to be thrilled about as the pair striking melodic notes together produces a league of extraordinary importance to the history of musical collaboration. Key ingredients such as flawlessness, togetherness, purity of artistry, and soul-stroking rhythms will be the flavors of this superior sonic banquet. I’m excited about this long-standing veteran charting something brand new and unusual in his extensive career. This album has all the makings of a classic, possibly evoking back some of the finest times of his career wafting in the early 70s and 80s while still staying thrillingly new and stimulating. I anticipate the arrival of this LP and how it will play out.
