Legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel is ready to make his comeback with a new song, 'Turn the Lights Back On', which will be released on February 1st. The song is his first original music since 2007. We’ll be celebrating the return of the legendary singer-songwriter.
'Turn the Lights Back On' is a collaboration between Joel and producer Freddy Wexler, who has worked with some of the biggest names in pop music, including Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Pink, Selena Gomez, and Celine Dion. Joel also co-wrote the song with Wexler, Arthur Bacon, and Wayne Hector.
The song is described as a 'classic Billy Joel-style tune, embodying the hallmarks of his signature sound and ushering in the next chapter of his story'. In the lyrics, Joel reflects on his long hiatus from music and wonders if he still has what it takes to shine. He asks, 'Did I wait too long... to turn the lights back on?'
Joel, 74, has not released a pop album since 1993's River of Dreams, which was his 12th studio album and featured hits like 'The River of Dreams', 'All About Soul', and 'Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)'. Since then, he has focused on touring, performing, and composing classical music.
