Elton John and Brandi Carlile have announced they will release a collaborative album Who Believes In Angels? on April 4th via Interscope Records.

The duo also released the album’s tracklist and shared the record’s title track and an accompanying video.

Elton, Brandi, Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Andrew Watt, and Elton’s longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin devised the concept for the album and wrote the entire album in just 20 days.

The album features top class musicians such as Chad Smith, Pino Palladino, and Josh Klinghoffer.

“This record was one of the toughest I’ve ever made, but it was also one of the greatest musical experiences of my life,” Elton says. “It has given me a place where I know I can move forward. Who Believes In Angels? feels like going into another era and I’m pushing the door open to come into the future. I have everything I’ve done behind me and it’s been brilliant, amazing. But this is the new start for me. As far as I’m concerned, this is the start of my career Mark two.”

“I’m still reeling from the fact that I got to do it,” Carlile adds. “I think all ships rise with Elton John’s standards for songwriting, and it was an incredibly challenging and inspiring environment to work in, everybody throwing in ideas, everybody listening to everybody else’s ideas. It felt like a family. The world is a wild place to live in right now. It’s hard to find peace and triumph. It’s a radical act to seek out joyful and euphoric happenings. And that is what this album represents to me.”
