There’s something different about Elton John at the moment. He’s in the middle of promoting his upcoming album, “Wonderful Crazy Nights”, and sounds more upbeat than he’s sounded for years. His last single, “Looking Up”, takes you right back to his old “I’m Still Standing”-era and his new single, “Blue Wonderful” is wonderfully sweet in lyrics.
It turns out that Elton John is making some life changes. After rumors emerged that his marriage was troubled, while actually being on holiday with his husband and his two sons, he is now taking a step back from doing concerts in order to focus more on family life. And where people make these types of decisions, there suddenly comes peace. It looks like the ever changing Elton John has discovered that too.
In fact, slowing things down, has even stopped appearing in his own videos. He’s only animated in his official video for “Looking Up”:
And for his new video, “Blue Wonderful”, he’s only providing the soundtrack to an intriguing dance between two people, who even fly across the skys. own videis. as discovered that toos peace. on family life. . It just gives an unexpected twist to the many dance videos out there, that are such a trend right now.
It’s expected that his upbeat tone as well as his rock n roll roots are further explored on his new album. It definitely looks like more people are paying attention to him again.
Perhaps that could be a little bit of the influence of a certain miss Gaga? Elton John was one of the first people to speak out about Lady Gaga’s upcoming new material. Telling the press, that he had heard many good things, but now he’s actually started working with her for the album.
But that aside, Elton John has had a pretty wild life for the longest time. There’s enough material there to inspire something like a biopic, which was exactly in the works until the project’s execs decided it might not be the time to release a musical film at the moment. Hmm, weird! Right now, it looks like everyone who’s done anything in music seems to be getting their own biopic.
Luckily, all these things are just side projects for Sir Elton, and his music simply rocks on.
