Lady Gaga, Pink & Miley Cyrus Contribute Songs To Elton John Tribute Albums
Elton John’s legendary songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin is being honored by some of music’s biggest names on two tribute albums — Revamp (pop and rock artists) and Restoration (country artists). Both albums drop on April 6. The former is probably a little more relevant to this site given the staggering line-up. Lady Gaga covers “Your Song,” while Miley Cyrus tackles “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me.” Another highlight will, no doubt, be Pink’s collaboration with Elton (his only appearance) and Logic on “Bennie And The Jets.”
Other artists involved include Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, The Killers, Alessia Cara, Florence And The Machine, Mary J. Blige and Demi Lovato. It should also be noted that Miley pulls double duty, contributing “The Bitch Is Back” to the country album. “It’s always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it,” Elton says. “As songwriters, Bernie and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp & Restoration choose to add their own unique twist in the process.”
“It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We’re humbled and thank them all for their generosity.” See the respective album tracklists below.
