Elton John Embraces Fresh Musical Journey with Brandi Carlile in "Who Believes In Angels?"
- New album of Elton John signifies a fresh start for the musician
Elton John is embarking on a new musical chapter. The music legend revealed that his latest project, a collaborative album with Brandi Carlile, serves as a fresh start for him.
Expanding his musical horizons, John teams up with Carlile for their new joint project, titled "Who Believes In Angels?". This unique collaboration is the product of an incredible collaboration between John, Carlile, acclaimed producer Andrew Watt, and renowned songwriter Bernie Taupin. The album is a genre-blending mix of talents, featuring performances by a star-studded band, including Chad Smith, Pino Palladino, and Josh Klinghoffer [1][2][3].
The partnership between these two musical titans results in a fresh and distinctive sound, with Carlile bringing her Americana-influenced style and powerful vocals to the mix. This marks a new direction for John, who is known for his experimental pop and rock music, as he delves into new territories with Carlile [3][4].
The creative process behind "Who Believes In Angels?" was documented in the film series "Who Believes In Angels? Stories from the Edge Of Creation," which offers a captivating behind-the-scenes look at the challenges, breakthroughs, and camaraderie that unfolded during recording [1][3].
When not contributing to groundbreaking albums, John faces his biggest challenge yet: parenthood. Embracing the highs, lows, and magic of raising two children, Zachary and Elijah with husband David Furnish, John notes that it's "the most wonderful challenge you could ever have" [5].

- Elton John emphasizes that his new album, "Who Believes In Angels?", with Brandi Carlile is a 'new beginning' for him, expressing this in the album's title.
- In a professional context, John's children, Zachary and Elijah, are described as a 'strong section' of his life demanding his attention and affection.
- As for the 'furnish' of his home, it is presumably not the focus of the text, but it could symbolically represent the deep, enduring love between Elton John and his husband, David Furnish.
