New song: Rina Sawayama's "Chosen Family" featuring Elton on piano and vocals. This newly released (April, 2021) song is written by Rina and Danny L Harle and has been reworked as a duet from the original version which appeared on Rina's debut album in 2020.
Rina Sawayama is a British singer-songwriter who is based in London.
"Chosen Family" initially appeared on Rina's 2020 album SAWAYAMA which did create a buzz, especially amongst the music critics out there. Many music critics voted SAWAYAMA close to the top in their respective top albums of 2020. Elton has been raving about her for awhile now. He featured her new music on his "Rocket Hour" radio program. "Chosen Family" is about people in the LGBTQ community who have been "ostracized by their family, friends or community..."
It is a beautiful song - delicate and uplifting. There is a genuine connection between Rina & Elton. Take a watch & listen:

The great thing about the lyric is that, being art, it is open to personal interpretations in addition to Rina's heartfelt meaning. Rina is a brave and pioneering young soul.
