Elton John Announces Two New Albums: 'Revamp' And 'Restoration'

Philadelphia (CW Philly) — It's 2018, and Elton John is still standing. On Thursday, John announced that two new albums, Revamp and Restoration, will be released on April 6.

Both albums include John's hits, completely re-imagined. However, they are different genres.

"We have two completely different albums; Revamp being the pop one and Restoration being the country one. God, we have so many great artists doing our songs, it's quite incredible," John said.

Pop sensations including Alessia Cara, Mary J. Blige, and Ed Sheeran can be heard on Revamp. While Restoration features notable country artists including Dolly Parton, Maren Morris, and Miranda Lambert.

John explained how he and his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, turned their dream of creating two new albums into a reality.  

"Restoration was Bernie's project... Revamp was more my project," John said. "He [Taupin] came up with an astonishing list of country performers both new and legendary," John continued.

John and Taupin are grateful for the artists who made Restoration and Revamp possible, and they're looking forward to the big release date.

"It's always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it...We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity," John said.

Fans will have to wait until April to purchase the albums, but the tracklists are available now. Check out the songs below!
