Brandi Carlile and the legendary Elton John have filed the music video for their new single “Swing for the Fance” directed by the celebrated director Xavier Dolan and choreographed by Damien Jalet. See the video: here.
Speaking of track, says Brandi: “Swing for the fences' was a little jewel that I took to the studio with me: I am a gay woman, Elton is a gay man and we have both families and our dreams have come true. I thought it wasn't cool to write a hymn for young gay children who calls them into a larger, more elegant, fabulous life. Just like 'go, go! Let yourself be held back! '”
Elton adds ,, “When we recorded 'Swing for the fences', it was the moment when the album was led. It was difficult to get to this point, but we knew that we had to rise to the occasion, and we all only felt this massive feeling of joy and euphoria. After our initial difficulties, all uncertainties began to dissolve when this song came together. It just sounded great. “

Who believes in angels? I want to go to another era and I put the door open to get into the future. I have everything I did behind me and it was brilliant, incredible. But that's the fresh start for me. For me this is the beginning of my career brand two. ” Carlile adds “I still animals from the fact that I had to do it. I think all ships rise with Elton John's standards for songwriting, and it was an incredibly challenging and inspiring environment to work, everyone threw ideas, everyone listened to everyone else's ideas. It felt like a family. The world is a wild place where you can live. It is difficult to find peace and triumph. It is a radical act to seek joyful and euphoric events. And that's what this album represents for me. “
