Elton John & Brandi Carlile Team Up for New Album ‘Who Believes in Angels?’: Stream It Now

Longtime friends Elton John and Brandi Carlile have teamed up for a new collaborative album, Who Believes in Angels?, which the duo recorded over 20 days starting in October 2023. The set arrived via Interscope Records on Friday (April 4).

The pair wrote and created the album with John’s long-time co-writer Bernie Taupin and producer Andrew Watt. Who Believes in Angels? features previously released singles “Swing for the Fences,” “Never Too Late” and the title track.

“As my Farewell tour came to an end, I knew I wanted to make a new album with Brandi, I wanted to shift gears and do something different from anything I’d done before,” John previously told Billboard of the project. “I have always found Brandi so inspiring, our friendship was so close, and I just had the instinct that we could produce something really amazing. Creating Who Believes in Angels? was challenging, and I had a lot of self-doubt, but alongside Bernie Taupin and Andrew Watt, we ended up writing 10 songs in 20 days and it was one of the most joyous and exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had in my life.”

The duo are set to appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend (April 5) as musical guests, and the day after, they’ll host a one-hour concert special in celebration of the new album. An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile will air on CBS on Sunday, April 6 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT) and stream on Paramount+, and will feature live performances, stories about the pair’s friendship and an intimate look at the making of Who Believes in Angels?.
