“The last thing I expected to do during quarantine was an album. But as the pandemic dragged on, a series of projects kept popping up and I ended up with a very interesting and diverse selection that is completely different from anything I’m known for. Projects that completely took me out of my comfort zone and into new territory. And I realized there was something strangely familiar about working this way. Early in my career, in the late 60s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during the pandemic reminded me of that. I closed a cycle: I was a session musician again. And it was still fun,” Elton wrote.
