Brandi Carlile Believe in miracles. It is the little girl who appears with a shirt with the name of Elton John In the clip of Who believes in angels?made available in February. And it is she who signs the new album Who believes in angels?With 10 unpublished tracks, next to the singer this Friday, 4.
The artist has Elton as inspiration for a long time: he was his first contact with the singer still in childhood.

Lesbian, the singer had not yet discovered his sexuality at that moment. It was not only Elton’s song that crossed her – and would have made it a real fan of the singer. It was freedom. “I thought: ‘I want my life to be so,” he says in an interview for video Estadão.
Today, at 43, Brandi maintains a very close friendship with the artist. It was his idea of inviting the singer to a breakfast and suggest a joint record. “I thought maybe he wanted to record in a year or two, but he really wanted to go directly to the studio,” he describes. There have been 20 days of recordings.
The artist then saw that girl who was inspired by Elton John again. For her, the invitation seemed like a “mystical” experience. “I would leave anything. There is nothing that I shouldn’t do an album with Elton John,” he says.
The partnership has even obtained an Oscar nomination for the best original song this year. Elton and Brandi competed for the statuette for Never too lateTrace that integrated the documentary Elton John: never too latePublished in January and also integrates the new album. The prize, however, was awarded to El MalSong of the movie Emilia Pérez.
Car -scope
Of course, a sort of “impostor syndrome” took it control. In a video published on YouTube with behind the scenes of the album recording, Brandi said he wondered numerous times: “Why did he just play Glastonbury and wanted to make an album with me?”
Months ago, Elton had made his farewell show at the Glastonbury Festivalin the United Kingdom, with the Farewell yellow brick road tour. The singer collects prizes, is one of the greatest names in the music in history and has sold over 300 million albums all over the world. Even so, the registration of Who believes in angels? It was a demanding process for him too.
In recording in the backstage, Elton even launches the headphones on the floor and snatching scores with album songs. Has almost given up on excessive self -acceptance.
It was the first time that the singer allowed the filming of his album recording process. Brandi says that no moment was tried or manipulated: the cameras were so small that the two forgot to be there.

The singer describes that it was a “difficult” process, but says that he believes that the moments have taken the friendship of the two “elsewhere”. “It was really beautiful, because I was able to meet Elton in a new way and accept a new part of him, which is the fact that it is inclined to moments of insecurity and that, as a genius, he still doubts himself. And I think it is good that people know him and see him on him,” he says.
Miracles
Beyond the self -accepting, Who believes in angels? He also intended to fight physical pain for Elton. At the time, the singer was not yet I lost the vision of the right eyes from an infection – Which has even made it refer to the release of the new album. But he had just undergone knee surgery, as Brandi reports.
Despite this, Elton has never left the pole and was even late in the studio. “There have been sometimes that he left soon, but this was due to anger attacks, which was understandable, because it was a complicated moment,” says the singer.
For her, the album exit can be a way to help the singer face recent health problems. “[O disco] It makes him very happy and reminds him every day, musically, what he did. It’s hard and there are so many good things that he has done in the world and can still do, “he says.
Brandi wrote the lyrics that appoint the album and the other songs of the album together with Bernie Taupin, head of the text of Elton’s greatest successes. The singer describes it as a “true lyrical hero” and says it Who believes in angels? He was inspired by his experience with the album.
“I wrote this song that my life brought me to this point. And this does not seem a coincidence. This looks like a beautiful mystery,” he says. He says it’s his favorite song of the new album.
END Who believes in angels? It was a real car -bibration process for the singer. At the end of the video posted on YouTube, Elton seems excited to finish the album and calls him “Immaculate”.
“It never happened to me in all my career,” he said, in tears. Elton John is still standing like never before.
