Elton has a new album due October 22nd.
It is called THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS. All songs are apparently EJ collaborations and total 16 songs - each with various well-known performers worldwide. Most songs are new and a few have been recently released such as "Cold Heart." The album features younger musicians such as Dua Lipa & Rina Sawayama plus established veteran musicians such as Stevie Nicks & Stevie Wonder.

Not only is the album available digitally, on CD and vinyl but also on the newest trend - CASSETTES! Here is what EJ has to say about the project - provided by eltonjohn.com:
In Elton’s words: “The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But, as the pandemic went on, one‐off projects kept cropping up. Some of the recording sessions had to be done remotely, via Zoom, which I’d obviously never done before. Some of the sessions were recorded under very stringent safety regulations: working with another artist, but separated by glass screens. But all the tracks I worked on were really interesting and diverse, stuff that was completely different to anything I’m known for, stuff that took me out of my comfort zone into completely new territory. And I realised there was something weirdly familiar about working like this. At the start of my career, in the late 60s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during lockdown reminded me of that. I’d come full circle: I was a session musician again. And it was still a blast.”
