Elton John and Brandi Carlile have joined forces in an electrifying collaboration, unveiling the music video for their track 'Who Believes In Angels?'. This single leads the way for their eagerly anticipated album, which is scheduled to drop on April 4, 2025. The video, a spectacle of creativity, was directed by the innovative David LaChapelle, known for his unique photographic and cinematic style. It features the duo performing on an enormous pinball machine, blending the fantastical with musical brilliance.
The setting of the video is a vibrant world where neon lights dance around, nodding to the golden era of rock & roll with homages to legends like Tina Turner and Little Richard. Imagine Elton on a winged piano and Brandi on guitar, surrounded by a kaleidoscopic glow—it's nothing short of a visual feast. The creative direction captures not just the energy of the song, but also the chemistry between the two powerhouse musicians.
The album 'Who Believes In Angels?' came to life over an intense 20-day recording session at the renowned Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles, back in October 2023. Guided by the deft hands of producer Andrew Watt, the album intricately weaves together styles led by both Elton and Brandi. Legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin also had a hand in crafting the album’s narrative alongside Brandi and Watt.
Encompassing a diverse tracklist of 10 songs, the album not only includes new pieces, but also revisits 'Never Too Late'—a track that made waves in a past documentary about John's expansive career. This particular project signifies a turning point for Elton, who described it as 'one of the toughest I’ve ever made' and 'a new start for me.' Brandi added that the album embodies a 'radical act to seek out joyful and euphoric happenings', underlining the joy evident in their musical synergy.
Supporting this vibrant album is an all-star lineup of musicians. Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, along with Pino Palladino and Josh Klinghoffer, lend their extraordinary talents to round out the sound. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, as pre-ordering the album grants exclusive access to concert tickets for their upcoming performance at the London Palladium on March 26, 2025.
This collaboration is not just about blending musical styles but is a celebration of resilience and creativity. With such dynamic talents at the helm, 'Who Believes In Angels?' is set to be a landmark album in both artists' illustrious careers, promising to captivate audiences worldwide.
