Einspruch!!!!!! Elton hat seine neue Scheibe hergeschenkt! He whipped out his iPad to proudly show photos of his children's Easter egg hunt to a group from AIDS Foundation Houston and gave his close friend Lynn Wyatt an advance copy of his new CD, which comes out in September. Gespannt dürfte bei dieser Dame nicht nur die Gesichtshaut sein:P
Sie soll das Album mit ihrem Leben verteidigen, hat er ihr gesagt? Das sollte es uns wert sein. Sie gibt ihr Leben, wir kriegen das Album... Harrharrharr!

Songs from the forthcoming T Bone Burnett-produced "The Diving Board" were played at a listening party held at Capitol studios, followed by a Q&A with Elton.
Elton has a new album, "The Diving Board" (due out in September), a new label home - Capitol Music Group, now owned by Universal - and a new musical partner: T Bone Burnett.
The playback portion of the evening consisted of a five-song introduction to "The Diving Board", which Burnett noted was a return to form for Elton featuring the simple arrangement of piano, bass and drums. Indeed, in the Q&A that followed, conducted by Grammy Museum executive director Bob Santelli, Elton boasted about how much piano he plays on the album. "The piano is my friend ... and, at the moment, I've never enjoyed it more."
Elton and T Bone Burnett came together on April 11, 2013 to host a private listening party for the album at Capitol’s equally famed Studio A. Attendees included UMG chairman Lucian Grainge along with a slew of CMG executives, among them chairman Steve Barnett, EVPs Michelle Jubelirer and Greg Thompson and Virgin headRon Fair (with wife Stephanie)....
Warum hat diese Person kein neues Lied aufgenommen??? Ich wette, Elton wird jetzt ein paar Songs in die Setliste mit reinpacken
MEINE EJ-KONZERTE 5x 02.07.2008 Halle/Westfalen mit Band, 15.10.2009 Düsseldorf Red Piano, 07.12.2010 Hamburg mit Ray Cooper, 21.06.2011 Hannover mit Band/2Cellos, 03.07.2012 Oberhausen mit Band/2 Cellos
Komischerweise kann ich es über Youtube nicht anschauen und müsste es runter laden?? Irgendwie trau ich mich das nicht....... Funktioiert es bei euch??
Die Sache stinkt. Wenn irgendwas schon draußen wäre, würde man garantiert davon erfahren. Und wenn irgendwas geleakt ist, taucht das früher oder später über die üblichen Kanäle auf. Irgendwo kostenpflichtig anmelden, um etwas zu kriegen, das da eigentlich gar nicht sein darf... DAS schreit doch "Verarsche".

Bernie Taupin: New Elton John Album "Really Befits Our Years"
4 June 2013
On Monday in New York City, Elton John‘s songwriting partner Bernie Taupin and producer T Bone Burnett hosted a listening party for John’s new album, The Diving Board, which is due out this fall. And Taupin told the invited guests that he feels that the three of them have created an album that reflects Elton’s artistic maturity.
“It really befits our years,” said Bernie of The Diving Board, adding, “We’re telling stories, and that’s what we do best. I’m amazingly proud of this record.” Burnett, meanwhile, said that the disc represents John “at the peak of his powers,” and noted that they had created the album “for history.”
The album, which puts Elton’s voice and piano playing front and center, has a rootsy sound that’s reminiscent of his earlier work, especially the 1970 album Tumbleweed Connection. As Taupin notes, many of the songs do tell stories; for example, one, “Oscar Wilde Gets Out,” was inspired by real-life Irish playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, who was imprisoned during the 1800s for being gay. Another, “The Ballad of Blind Tom,” was inspired by the true story of Blind Tom Wiggins, an autistic African-American slave who was a piano-playing musical prodigy.
Musically, the songs on The Diving Board range from gospel, to regretful ballads, to torch songs, to ’50s-style rock ‘n’ roll, to country. Earlier this year, Elton said of the record, “I can honestly say that this is the first time for a long time that I’ve got an album…and every single track and every single vocal I really love.”
As for why John himself wasn’t at the listening party, he, his partner David and their two sons, Elijah and Zachary, are currently vacationing in Italy.
