In his later career, Elton John continues to champion new artists while collaborating with diverse musicians like Brandi Carlile. Their new album, 'Who Believes in Angels?', reflects a remarkable creative synergy where both artists elevate each other's work. The album features a mix of rock and country influences, highlighted by lively tracks such as 'Little Richard's Bible' and the heartfelt 'When This Old World Is Done With Me.' John's youthful spirit shines through, proving that he is still vibrant and relevant in the music scene.
In the twilight years of his career, Elton John has been anointing the next generation with a keener ear than most, championing new stars from Chappell Roan to Wet Leg via his Rocket Hour radio show.
Created alongside American country rock royalty Brandi Carlile, an 11-times Grammy winner, there is the audible sense of two artists pushing each other and raising the other's game.
Where many of his recent collaborations have seen him enter the sonic palettes of modern pop, Someone to Belong To's interweaving harmonies, or the rousing piano balladry...
The album ends with the remarkably poignant, Elton-led end-of-life reflection When This Old World Is Done With Me. Who Believes In Angels? is a fine reminder that he's certainly not there yet.
