The wait is shortening. On Wednesday Elton confirmed a new album was in the wings. But expect more flutter as it can be pre-ordered from today and is only released 4 April.
In an email today it was revealed:
Album artwork is coming along fine. Remind you of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band?
“Written and recorded over 20 days, ‘Who Believes In Angels?’ is a collaborative studio album between Elton John and Brandi Carlile. It mixes Elton-led songs and Brandi-led songs, with long term collaborator Bernie Taupin and Brandi both contributing lyrics, and producer and co-writer Andrew Watt acting as the producer, mediator and creative conduit. They are backed by a world class band of musicians comprising of Chad Smith, Pino Palladino and Josh Klinghoffer.”
Pre-orders of the album will allow fans to obtain a booking link where they can apply to join an event with Elton and Brandi. Admission is not guaranteed.
