Elton John and Brandi Carlile Announce a Collaborative Album, ‘Who Believes in Angels?,’ With Title Track Out Now


Elton John and Brandi Carlile officially announced a long-rumored collaborative album, 'Who Believes in Angels?,' with the title track out now.

According to an announcement release, “Static cameras positioned around the studio captured thousands of hours of raw footage, and ultimately documented the entire creative process — breakdowns, breakthroughs, tears, torn up lyric sheets and all. He says it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done.” Indeed, John praised the project when he inducted Taupin into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November 2023, saying he’d done an album that “is going to surprise the shit out of you,” although he didn’t disclose at the time that it was a collaboration with Carlile. Carlile indulged in a Swift-style, Easter-egg tease of fans when she sold friendship bracelets in the gift shop at her Girls Just Wanna Weekend in January with the then-unexplained acronym “WBIA?,” creating intrigue throughout the festival as the mystery went unsolved.
