Elton John & Brandi Carlile Drop New Album Who Believes in Angels, Set for Primetime Special on April 6
Los Angeles, April 4:
Music icons Elton John and Brandi Carlile have officially released their highly anticipated collaborative album, Who Believes in Angels. The album, produced by Grammy-winner Andrew Watt, features lyrics by Bernie Taupin, Elton’s lifelong creative partner.
The 10-track album includes eight duets and one solo track each by John and Carlile, showcasing a dynamic blend of emotion, nostalgia, and raw musical chemistry.
The album’s title track, “Who Believes in Angels?”, was accompanied by a music video released in February. Described as a “kaleidoscopic tribute to the rock & roll angels,” it honors late legends like Tina Turner and Little Richard, whose legacies continue to shape generations of musicians.
Hours ahead of the album drop, the duo also released a lyric video for the second track, “Little Richard’s Bible”, a more upbeat, energetic number that adds texture and contrast to the album’s tone.
To celebrate the album’s launch, the duo will appear in a one-night-only television event titled An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile, airing Sunday, April 6 at 8 PM local time on CBS.
Produced by Fulwell Entertainment, the concert special was filmed at London’s Palladium Theatre on March 26 and features live performances, intimate conversations, and exclusive behind-the-scenes stories about their friendship and the making of the album.
Both artists will perform collaborative tracks, individual classics, and Carlile will debut an unreleased original song.
During the concert filming, Elton and Brandi opened up about deeply personal subjects — from Elton’s take on his legacy (“nothing to do with Crocodile f**ing Rock*,” he joked) to the emotional weight of making music amid global turmoil.
“It doesn’t seem right to be trying to make a record when this horrible stuff is going on,” Elton said, reflecting on the backdrop of global conflict while writing the album.
This marks another high-profile collaboration between the longtime friends, who were previously nominated for an Oscar for “Never Too Late”, featured in the Disney+ documentary chronicling John’s farewell tour.
