John also took part in last year’s Studio 2054 livestream from her Club Future Nostalgia remix album.
The pair previously teamed up earlier this year to sing “Bennie And The Jets” and “Love Again” together at an Oscars watch party. John responded: “Dua, I adore you, and it has been an incredible experience making this together.” “I’m fizzing with excitment!!!! i love you and i’m so happy this is finally coming out into the world,” Lipa wrote when announcing the track earlier this week. The track takes John’s “Sacrifice,” “Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long, Long Time),” “Kiss The Bride,” and “Where’s The Shoorah?” and mashes them up, with John and Lipa dueting and singing some verses. You won’t regret watching the video it’s a ’80’s-meets-2021 cosmic journey.Dua Lipa and Elton John have teamed up for a new collaboration called “Cold Heart,” which was remixed by the Australian producer trio PNAU. Give “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” a watch on YouTube. Add Dua Lipa’s unbeatable talents and the zen vibes of Pnau’s beat, and you’ve got a Summer superhit. With the turmoil of 2020 and the resurgence of everything uncertain again in 2021, it’s really nice to have something as familiar as Elton John on the radio again. Where all of us can meet on the dance floor, forget the outside and lose ourselves in the healing waters of music and love eternal.’”
Per the press release: “PNAU say: ‘Setting a stage for the two greatest performers in the world today Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa, we knew we had to go in deep, take them into our world, the psychedelic lazer black lit club. The talented Australian trio took the vocals and familiar sounds of John’s popular older songs, and gave it a chill, updated vibe perfect for any modern dance floor. Pnau Remixes Cold Heartīut you can’t talk about how well John and Lipa blend together without talking about the group that pulled it all into the year 2021: Pnau. While that isn’t exactly a promise of future team-ups, it brings us hope. Can’t wait to hear it everywhere this summer.’” It’s so very special, with some of my very favourite Elton John classic songs combined – I loved being part of such a creative and joyous experience. It has been an absolute honour and privilege to collaborate on this track with him. Elton is such an inspirational artist and also has the naughtiest sense of humour – a perfect combination. The energy she brought to ‘Cold Heart’ just blew my mind.’ĭua Lipa says: ‘Ever since we first ‘met’ online, we totally clicked. She’s a truly wonderful artist, and person, absolutely bursting with creativity and ideas. And having the opportunity to spend time with Dua, albeit remotely has been incredible. Per the press release, “Elton John says: ‘The last 18 months have been hard, but being off the road has meant that I’ve actually had time to get back to my roots as a session player and collaborate with some wonderful artists. And if you listen to what the artists have to say about working together, it just might be so. Driven by the restrictions of lockdown and a renewed passion for collaboration, Elton reached out to Dua to work on new music together remotely.”Īnd what they produced is nothing short of exciting hopefully, this effort inspires them to work together again in the future. Dua subsequently performed at The Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, which raised over $3 million for the Foundation. A press release for the collab tells the story of how it all came together “The seed of the collaboration was planted after Dua invited Elton for an Instagram live discussing his experiences with Studio 54 ahead of her remix album ‘Club Future Nostalgia.’ A shared respect and subsequent friendship blossomed which saw Elton appear as a guest on Dua’s record breaking Studio 2054 live stream. It’s a unique duo, but they’re kind of vocally made for each other. In the video, the characters step onto their own planets as they drift apart suddenly, and the press team describes it as, “a beautifully drawn, wistful and, at times, trippy parallel to the last year and a half in lockdown.” With that in mind watching the video, it’s breathtaking and hopeful all at once. The video is delightful, created by Hamburg based animator and director Raman Djafari. John’s croon melts gorgeously with Lipa’s clear and rich vocals, with a pulsing dance beat tying it altogether.
It’s set against the backdrop of a music video that is both weird and wonderful with mouse-like claymation creatures and stylized cartoon versions of both Lipa and John exploring the cosmos and dancing in ’70’s platform shoes.
Both the rock legend and Lipa sing some of John’s favorites, including the original “Cold Heart” and “Rocket Man,” and it’s blended together like musical butter, smooth and silky. The song is a stunning revisit of some of John’s best hits in the most wonderful way possible.
