Lockdown Sessions

"The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But, as the pandemic went on, one off projects kept cropping up and I’ve ended with a selection of really interesting and diverse stuff that was completely different to anything I’m known for, stuff that took me out of my comfort zone into completely new territory. And I realised there was something weirdly familiar about working like this. At the start of my career, in the late 60's, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during lockdown reminded me of that. I’d come full circle: I was a session musician again. And it was still a blast." ~ Elton John

The list of collaborators who joined Sir Elton for "The Lockdown Sessions" is eye popping, as well, and includes Dua Lipa, Charie Puth, Surfaces, Gorillaz, Rina Sawayama, Miley Cyrus, Brandi Carlile, Lil Nas X, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks and more. A few of the songs made their way to the masses previously, and are included here as part of the new album project.
