His true fans know well that the golden age of Elton John is starting to get away from them ... However, with The Diving Board published in 2013, the master of British pop proved that all was most certainly not lost... with Wonderful Crazy Night, this quasi-resurrection is confirmed. For this 33rd studio album offers traces of musical DNA that escaped from his legendary 1972 song, Rocket Man. Above all, this 2016 vintage presents stylish alloy, nervous pop, and soft rock, as if it were a secret formula. In each song, the melodies bulge and, as always with Elton John, Bernie Taupin takes care of the writing, with the production entrusted in turn to T Bone Burnett (already producer of The Diving Board). Elton John has performed somewhat of a clean-up, not inviting any of the musicians with whom he usually works. At 68, Sir Elton signs off an energetic record, combining his expected strengths with some unexpected freshness. © CM / Qobuz
