Among the most brilliant musicians of our time, Brandi Carlile and Elton John, have announced their new collaborative studio album Who Believes in Angels?, arriving April 4 on Interscope Records.
From its conception to its execution, Who Believes In Angels? is rooted in the power of collaboration amongst music's best writers and performers. Elton John and Brandi Carlile have collaborated several times over the years, from a duet on Carlile's third studio album to "Never Too Late" from John's career-spanning documentary. But the legendary duo enlisted the help of a few more music greats: multiple GRAMMY Award winning producer and songwriter Andrew Watt, long-time John-collaborator and songwriter Bernie Taupin, and a world class band of musicians comprising of Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Pino Palladino (Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan and David Gilmour) and Josh Klinghoffer (Pearl Jam, Beck).
Written and recorded at Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound Studios in October 2023 in just 20 days, Who Believes in Angels? interweaves ballad, rock and roll, pop, country-Americana, and synth-heavy psychedelia.
In support of the record, Brandi Carlile and Elton John will be headlining ‘An Evening With Elton John & Brandi Carlile’ at The London Palladium on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. Fans can preorder the album to gain exclusive access for the chance to buy tickets for a unique evening of performance and storytelling. Preorder/presave Who Believes in Angels? here.
