Elton John and Brandi Carlile have collaborated on a new song titled "Swing for the Fences", part of their forthcoming album, "Who Believes in Angels?", set for release on April 4th. The song is an uplifting anthem aimed at young LGBTQ individuals, featuring resonant lyrics encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and pursue their dreams. Carlile emphasized the importance of creating a piece that reflects their experiences as openly gay artists. Elton John noted the song’s significance in setting the tone for the album, highlighting a collective sense of joy during its creation.
Don't hold your shoulders like a high school dance/ A white flag holder in a hopeless romance/ Red light kids crossing over the line.
'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.
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.
Who Believes in Angels? drops on April 4th and features the previously released title track.
