Seven years have passed since the release of his last album, 'The Captain & the Kid' (2006), for the new album of Elton John, a long wait for his followers who apparently will be well rewarded with the arrival of the new 'The Diving Board' (The Trampoline), the album number thirty-one in the long career of the British singer. According to his own record company and could be seen in his first singles already released, 'The Diving Board' It is an album where melodic ballads, piano solos and deep lyrics abound, and where Elton John has made it clear that his search this time has been towards simplicity, relying on the most classical North American music.
Elton John responded about the new album to the specialized press: «It has all the styles that I like the most of American music: gospel, soul and country. It's that now I just make only the music that I feel most comfortable with. I can assure that 'The Diving Board' it is the album in which the piano has been the greatest protagonist like never before and at the same time the most mature that I have been able to make at my age »the singer explained.
The British composer will return to the stage on September 20, during the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas (USA), after having to cancel several concerts in July due to having to undergo an operation for appendicitis. It was also revealed a few days ago that Elton John will participate in the next edition of the Emmy Awards (September 22), in tribute to the pianist Liberace and on the occasion of the participation in his biopic 'Behind the Candelabra' at the awards, with 15 nominations. 'The Diving Board' will go on sale from September 16 and is now available to listen to in full via 'streaming' on amazon.com.
