“It’s always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it,” says Elton John. “As songwriters, Bernie [Taupin] and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp and Restoration choose to add their own unique twist in the process. It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We’re humbled and thank them all for their generosity.”
Revamp and Restoration will be released on April 6.
