Taking the Cyndi Lauper route, Elton John has decided to record something he has not yet taken on: Recording a dance record. Here is what Spinner is reporting: "Proving that you're never too old to hit the dancefloor, it has been revealed Sir Elton John is set to release an album of dance music after working with Australian producers P'Nau. Best known for their work with Empire of the Sun, the production team are set to move Sir Elton into totally uncharted territory and in the process have sparked a furious bidding war between labels eager to release the material. A source close to the singer told the Sun: 'Elton says he's writing his most exciting new stuff for years -- possibly decades. Working with P'Nau has got the creative juices flowing again. They have got a load of big companies sniffing around.'"
I wonder if it will have a vibe in the reign of Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, or maybe Madonna? After all he did criticize her when he accused her of lip-synching on her Confessions tour. Now if he worked with LCD Soundsystem, that would be an awesome collaboration. I'm also curious to see how he'll tour with this record because you cannot hide behind a piano if you're going to record a record filled with dance tracks.
