Elton John<\/strong> is releasing an album of collaborations with artistes from several generations and genres, including Nicki Minaj<\/strong>, Young Thug<\/strong>, Miley Cyrus<\/strong>, Lil Nas X<\/strong>, Stevie Nicks<\/strong> and Stevie Wonder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Lockdown Sessions, a collection of 16 songs featuring John with artistes from Dua Lipa to the late Glen Campbell, will be released on October 22 by EMI<\/strong> Universal, the label announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n The pandemic project was spurred by John having to pause his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in March 2020 and his Apple Music talk show Rocket Hour, through which he got to know many of the artistes he would work with.<\/p>\n The tracks were recorded with the artistes remote from each other in some cases, and together, with safety precautions, in others. \u201cI realised there was something weirdly familiar about working like this,\u201d he said in a statement announcing the album. \u201cAt the start of my career, in the late \u201860s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artistes during lockdown reminded me of that. I\u2019d come full circle: I was a session musician again. And it was still a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n The opening track with Dua Lipa, Cold Heart (PNAU Remix), was released earlier this month.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n John<\/strong> takes the lead on some of the tracks, including duets with Brandi Carlile and Eddie Vedder, and is a featured guest on others, including previously released recordings with Rina Sawayama and Surfaces.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Elton John has announced the forthcoming release of \u201cThe Lockdown Sessions,\u201d an album of collaborations recorded remotely over the last 18 months, out Oct. 22, featuring more than 20 collaborators, including Dua Lipa<\/strong>, Brandi Carlile<\/strong>, Charlie Puth<\/strong>, Eddie Vedder<\/strong>, Gorillaz<\/strong>, Lil Nas X<\/strong>, Miley Cyrus<\/strong>, Nicki Minaj<\/strong>, Rina Sawayama<\/strong>, Stevie Nicks<\/strong>, Stevie Wonder<\/strong>, Years & Years<\/strong>, Young Thug<\/strong>, and others \u2014 including an apparently posthumous duet with country legend Glen Campbell.<\/p>\n \u201cIn March 2020 Elton was forced to pause his record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour due to the unfolding COVID pandemic,\u201d the announcement reads.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the world began to shut down, different projects presented themselves with artists Elton had enjoyed getting to know through his Apple Music show, \u2018Rocket Hour.\u2019 This was the beginning of one of Elton\u2019s boldest and most interesting records to date that he has billed \u2018The Lockdown Sessions.’\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis album saw Elton<\/strong> coming full circle and returning to his roots as a session musician,\u201d it continues. \u201cWhile it was no easy feat recording during a pandemic, a completely new way of working for Elton, he leaned into the challenge with some magnificent results.\u201d<\/p>\n John<\/strong> said, \u201cThe last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But as the pandemic went on, one-off projects kept cropping up. Some of the recording sessions had to be done remotely, via Zoom, which I\u2019d obviously never done before. Some of the sessions were recorded under very stringent safety regulations: working with another artist, but separated by glass screens. But all the tracks I worked on were really interesting and diverse, stuff that was completely different to anything I\u2019m known for, stuff that took me out of my comfort zone into completely new territory.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I realized there was something weirdly familiar about working like this,\u201d he continues. \u201cAt the start of my career, in the late \u201960s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during lockdown reminded me of that. I\u2019d come full circle: I was a session musician again.

The 69-year-old told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday: ‘When we get together, it’s like any other couple who are friends and have a history; you fall into conversation very easily’<\/p>\n After the couple divorced, Blauel retreated from the public eye.

It yielded Minaj’s first top-five single, “Super Bass”, which peaked at number three, becoming the highest-charting solo song by a female rapper since 2002.<\/p>\n Her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), saw Minaj move towards a dance-pop and pop rap sound. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with its lead single, “Starships”, peaking at number five on the Hot 100. Minaj’s third and fourth studio albums, The Pinkprint (2014) and Queen (2018), marked a departure from her previous style and a return to her hip hop roots.
