| Throughout Elton John's meteoric career from the 70's to the present, there has
been the tender thread of romantic music, at times sentimental, at times complex, at times straight forward and
emotional. From his first love song, appropriatley titled "Your Song" released in the 70's, to 90's classics such
as "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Blessed," these heart-warming and sometimes bittersweet
messages of love have left indelible marks on Elton John's worldwide legion of fans. The new album, Love
Songs, pays tribute to this legacy with a collection of 15 songs - 13 standards and two new songs written by
Elton John and longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin. Featured on Love Songs are many of Elton's best-loved hits,
including "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" (with George Michael), "Candle In The Wind," "Daniel," as well
as 90's hits such as "The One," "Believe," and "Blessed." Additionally, the set's two new songs include the first
single, "You Can Make History (Young Again)" and "No Valentines." In the meantime, fans can enjoy the
timeless music of the Love Songs collection, complete with two yet-to-be classics. Eltom John continues to
chart a musical path that has made him a cornerstone of pop history. Love Songs is a memorable and lasting
reminder of what is at the root of it all.
