The concept for the album, which was recorded in October 2023, was devised by good friends and regular employees Sir Elton, eleven times that Grammy won the American superstar Brandi and several award -winning producer and songwriter Andrew Watt.
They set off to create a real collaboration between Elton and Brandi.
The album would combine songs and brand-guided songs with long-term employee Bernie Taupin and Brandi who contribute both lyrics, and producer and co-writer Andrew Watt acts as a producer, mediator and creative leadership.
In the Sunset Sound Studios by Los Angeles in October 2023 with a completely empty slate, they pushed each other out of their comfort zones to write and completely re -record an album in just 20 days.
In Promo for the New Album Reads: 'Ballads exist alongside RAW Rock and Roll, pop songs and Country-Shifted Americana Rub-Houders with Synth-High Psychedelia.
'It is an album as unexpected as it is triumphant. Elton sounds completely new life. Brandi sounds like a singer-songwriter at the absolute top of her game, her voice goes together with Elton's as a hand in a glove.
“The resulting songs in one way or another succeed in being unambiguous, while they have made the work of Elton John and Brandi Carlile, while they have made every album.”

Elton appeared in December on Good Morning America alongside his husband David to talk to Robin Roberts about his life, career and the personal challenges in his new documentary.
Speaking in the interview, the music legend explained: 'Unfortunately I lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in southern France and it is now four months ago that I could not see it.
'And my left eye is not the best, so. There is hope and encouragement that it will be good and we are supposed to try to get it better. At the moment that is really what we concentrate on. '
When asked to work out his current health to put fans at ease, Sir Elton joked: 'David and I always have our blood tests every six months in Los Angeles. Our health has never been so better.

He went to his Instagram with a long post and explained how he had restored at home in recent months. '

“I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken care of me so well in recent weeks.”
