Recently, rock and roll legend 74-year-old veteran artist Elton John announced the upcoming release of his 32nd solo studio album, The Lockdown Sessions, which will be released on October 22, 2021 through EMI and Interscope Records.
Elton John is a great male artist in the history of rock music, the 74-year-old is currently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a career of 300 million album sales, and the British royal family to praise "jazz" title, high status.
But the so-called new album's first two-line single was a single with little fairy meat upside down, in collaboration with Dua Lipa and Charlie Puth.
At present, Elton John has also released the album tracks of "The Lockdown Sessions", which is actually a pure upside-down album, each song is a collaborative single, no Solo track.
He will be on the album with rena Sawayama, Nicki Minaj, Years & Years, Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X and others.
In this regard, many old fans are very dissatisfied, because this album is called Elton John's 32nd personal studio album, he is not a simple cooperative album or a selection, but a formal album, but contains a lot of cooperation singles that are not his lead singer, and it seems to be self-destructing his reputation for the sake of money.
Many fans protested: "Artists of Elton John's level should not post newcomers upside down, but should pursue music with more artistic value, this kind of planning is really self-destructive, chilling." ”
Others pointed out that Elton John was a when he was young, once saying that Jane Jackson's concerts were more boring than Drag Queen's, saying that Madonna was a poor cow fake singer, saying that Madonna's song Die Another Day was the worst song ever, and saying that her career was over, and that Madonna was an open-air dance hall stripper with little value.
In the past few decades, among so many singers, Elton John has only looked up to is maria carey (Maria Carey).
But in recent years, he has loved every supernatural singer, admired Dua Lipa, loved Rina Sawayama, loved Nicki Minaj, loved Years & Years, admired Miley Cyrus very much, liked Lil Nas X in particular, and became a close friend with Lady Gaga.
From a mean poisonous tongue to a kind old man, his temperament has changed greatly, making many people think that he is very strange.
But I think Elton John might be quite difficult.
Although his achievements are great enough and there are many classic works, his influence among the new generation of young people is obviously not enough. Previously, at the iHeart Radio Music Awards to pay tribute to him, Ava Max, as a guest, could not even say any of the songs he had sung, and it was on the hot search for a while, and many netizens said that they really did not know who he was.
In addition, the older generation of singers do not sell their albums very well, often relying on bundled tours to sell, but because of the current epidemic, and their fans are at least forty or fifty years old middle-aged people who understand science and epidemic prevention, it is impossible to hold a successful event.
What Elton John can really do is to find some new people with relatively high streaming popularity to cooperate, and then create a better sales figure through irrigation to make his album look more successful.
In fact, there is no way, people are old in the era that does not belong to themselves to find some sense of existence, can only rely on the strength of new people.
However, the sudden change from a very mean person to an amiable old man is really a sudden change.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the last person to win the award is still him Elton John is enough, and dignity can not be eaten as a meal.
Maybe if he continues like this, he will be able to get another global hit single.
