Elton John and Brandi Carlile Unveil New Album: ‘Who Believes in Angels’
Elton John and Brandi Carlile have joined forces to release their highly anticipated collaborative album, Who Believes in Angels. This 10-track project is produced by the talented Andrew Watt, with lyrics penned by John’s longtime collaborator, Bernie Taupin. The collection features eight collaborative tracks as well as one solo song from each artist.
Among the album highlights is the title track, “Who Believes in Angels?” , accompanied by a vibrant music video that debuted in February. This track embodies the essence of John’s musical style, serving as a colorful homage to the rock & roll legends, such as Tina Turner and Little Richard, who have inspired generations of artists.
In an exciting build-up to the album’s release, John and Carlile shared a lyric video for the second track, “Little Richard’s Bible.” This song presents a distinctly more upbeat energy compared to the reflective tone of the title track. To check out the lyric video, follow this link:
