![]() ![]() From his second, self-titled album onward (no one covers songs off his 1969 debut), Elton’s songs have been covered constantly. For Elton, the Rocketman biopic is just the latest tribute in a career full of them.Īnd nowhere has tribute been paid more often than in the world of cover songs. The farewell tour he launched last year will take him through 2020, and 2018 also saw two tribute albums featuring megawatt performers: from Lady Gaga to Ed Sheeran on the pop one, Miranda Lambert to Willie Nelson on the country one. He never left (after all, it’s hard to look away from clothes that sparkly). Unlike Queen, though, Elton John didn’t really need a mega-blockbuster to return to the public eye. Again, somewhat worse it’s done fine, but does not seem to be the smash Bohemian Rhapsody was. Also – and hopefully this is unrelated – it has fared worse at the box office. ![]() Compared to the Queen movie, critics like Rocketman better (somewhat), fact-checkers call it more accurate (somewhat), and LGBT advocates praise it for more honestly addressing the star’s sexuality (somewhat). It feels like a revival of their classic sound and I’m hopeful for loads more original music in 2019, but these are definitely quelling a huge craving all the same.Ĭheck out Zeds Dead’s remix for “Close To Me” below, and listen to the full pack here.The first big film to to emerge in the post- Bohemian Rhapsody biopic boom is Rocketman. Zeds Dead are on a run of new remixes with this one, including their recent remix of Billie Eilish’s “bury a friend,” and I absolutely love it. Well, I wouldn’t say this is on the level of the “Lights” remix, but by Zeds Dead standards, this is definitely a new classic. Think of the Jakwob remix of “Starry Eyed” or the Bassnectar remix of “Lights” and you can imagine that a Zeds Dead remix of Ellie Goulding would be on a similar or higher level. ![]() She released “Close To Me” with Diplo and Swae Lee at the end of 2018, and now it’s received four official remixes, including a stellar, instant classic from Zeds Dead. I’m not sure what it is about her voice, but some mysterious quality lends itself to electronic music better than almost any other. From her very first album in 2010, Ellie Goulding’s songs have been perfect to remix. ![]()
