Elton John & Brandi Carlile Drop Raw, Emotional Making-Of Short ‘Who Believes in Angels?: Stories From the Edge of Creation’
Elton John & Brandi Carlile have released raw, emotional YouTube making-of short 'Who Believes in Angels?: Stories From the Edge of Creation'; watch.
As part of the multi-media blitz to promote their first joint album together, Who Believes in Angels?,” Elton John and Brandi Carlile are inviting fans to watch the raw studio footage of the sessions. The film opens with producer Andrew Watt trying to flint a creative spark from the pop icon by bringing up late 1960s confessional singer Laura Nyro, who John has long said was one of his biggest inspirations. That, of course, led to the recording of the album’s nearly seven-minute opening track, “The Rose of Laura Nyro,” which viewers can see come to life as John picks out the song’s refrain in real time as his career-long lyricist, Bernie Taupin, stands by his side to help punch things up.
