Elton John and Brandi Carlile have just released a second song from their highly anticipated album, ‘Who Believes in Angels?’ The new track, titled "Swing for the Fences," has already generated a lot of buzz. Elton shared his excitement about the song, saying, “When we recorded [it], it was the moment that crystalized where the album was going. It was hard to get to that point, but we knew we had to rise to the occasion and we all just felt this massive sense of joy and euphoria. After our initial difficulties, all the uncertainties started to dissipate when this song came together. It just sounded great.”
Brandi Carlile echoed Elton's sentiments, adding her own perspective on the song's significance. She explained, “'Swing for the Fences' was a little gem I took into the studio with me: I’m a gay woman, Elton’s a gay man, and we both have families, and our dreams have come true. I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to write an anthem for young gay kids out there that calls them into a bigger, more elegant, more fabulous life. Just like ‘go, go! don’t let anything hold you back!’”
The album, Who Believes in Angels?, marks the first collaboration between Elton John and Brandi Carlile and is set to be released on April 4th.
