According to NME a source close to Lady Gaga and Elton John has claimed they are currently working on a “hardcore drum and bass” track.
The pair previously worked together on “Sine From above”, which featured on Gaga’s last album Chromatica, released in May 2020. While their original offering leaned more towards pop and dance-led sounds, this new track is reported to “shock” fans.
According to The Sun, the track offers “extreme” experimentation and is a contrast to the production of Axwell, Burns and LIOHN on the original. “It’s about as far away from “Rocket Man” and “Candle in the Wind” as you can get, It’s gone from a pop-dance track to extreme hardcore drum and bass.”
Gaga discussed her friendship with John to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe at the time of the previous track’s release where she hailed the music legend for helping her to “really take care of myself”.
She stated that “He’s been my mentor for a long time, I mean, he’s always challenged me to keep my head above water and it’s something that I always appreciate is that he knows when I’m down. He just does. And he knows because I hide, because I never want anyone to see me when I’m like that, Elton’s always really challenged me to take care of my artistry and to really take care of myself. And I really, really honour that about him. He is so, so uniquely special.”
Recently John has also surprised diners at a restaurant in Cannes with an impromptu performance of “Cold Heart” (PNAU Remix)’, his new collaboration with Dua Lipa.
