John’s longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin also contributed lyrics to the album, alongside Carlile, while Andrew Watt was also a primary collaborator. Also working on the project were Chad Smith (of Red Hot Chili Peppers), Josh Klinghoffer (formerly of RHCP, currently a Pearl Jam touring member), and esteemed session bassist Pino Palladino.
John says in a statement:
“This record was one of the toughest I’ve ever made, but it was also one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. It has given me a place where I know I can move forward. Who Believes In Angels? feels like going into another era and I’m pushing the door open to come into the future. I have everything I’ve done behind me and it’s been brilliant, amazing. But this is the new start for me. As far as I’m concerned, this is the start of my career Mark two.”
Carlile also says:
“I’m still reeling from the fact that I got 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 in, everybody throwing in ideas, everybody listening to everybody else’s ideas. It felt like a family. The world is a wild place to live in right now. It’s hard to find peace and triumph. It’s a radical act to seek out joyful and euphoric happenings. And that is what this album represents to me.”
There’s also a trailer for the album that doubles as a making-of short film.

Welcome to another installment of Ask A Music Critic! And thanks to everyone who has sent me questions. Please keep them coming at [email protected].
Hey Steve, I’m excited to see Kendrick Lamar perform at the Super Bowl this year. I think it has a chance to be one of the best halftime shows ever. I’m curious: What do you think are the all-time worst Super Bowl halftime shows? I don’t need to know your favorites, because I feel like everybody already knows the best ones: Prince, U2, Springsteen, Dre and Snoop, Beyoncé. But what are your top five stinkers? — Tiffany from Atlanta
I also appreciate you giving me to opportunity to clown on terrible Super Bowl halftime shows. Before we begin I want to be clear: I love terrible Super Bowl halftime shows. I was raised on them. Terrible Super Bowl halftime shows are my heritage. They are my home. And I miss my home. These things are just too well done these days.
Let’s start with a brief history lesson: In the sixties, seventies, eighties and very early nineties, the Super Bowl halftime show was not the celebrity-driven extravaganza we all know today. It was a gig most often given to marching bands and the annoyingly chirpy (and long forgotten) song-and-dance nonprofit Up With People. That changed in 1993 when Michael Jackson played Super Bowl XXVII. After that, the Super Bowl halftime show started to level up, though there were some growing pains. By the mid-aughts, the powers that be figured out that treating the halftime show like a mini-concert starring a sturdy classic-rock act or a zeitgeist-y pop superstar was the best way to go. And that is the Super Bowl halftime show we all know today.
For my Top Five (or Bottom Five, as it were) I’m going to disregard all the shows pre-Michael Jackson. They were simply playing a different game back then. (I also don’t feel the need to take shots at the California State University Northridge Marching Band.)
Here are the five worst Super Bowl halftime shows, ranked from bad to atrocious.
5. “Celebration Of Soul, Salsa And Swing” with Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Super Bowl XXXIII, 1999)
The best thing about a terrible halftime show is the time capsule factor. That’s what redeems the most love it or hate it halftime show in Super Bowl history, “The Kings Of Rock And Pop” from Super Bowl XXXV, aka the one with Aerosmith, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly. Wherever you stand on that particular show, there’s no denying that it is a 200 proof injection of pure pre-9/11 2001-ness.“Celebration Of Soul, Salsa And Swing” opens with a similar flavor, as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and a legion of dancers remind us of the baffling swing-dance revival that was just starting to peter out around this time. After that, Stevie Wonder enters. How bad can a halftime show with Stevie Wonder possibly be? Well, what if we put Stevie in the shotgun seat of an old-timey Rolls Royce moving at approximately 2 mph? And then we make Stevie take a precarious walk up some riser steps while singing “Sir Duke”?
Stevie’s entrance, like Super Bowl halftime shows generally from this period, is just way too complicated. Once Stevie is behind a keyboard and singing “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life,” we are on much more solid footing. Just make the whole halftime show this! Oh, if it were only that simple. Soon, Stevie is displaced by Gloria Estefan, because Gloria Estefan owned this spot in the nineties. She was at the halftime show just seven years prior, for a tribute to the 1992 Winter Olympics with (no joke) Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill. May we all find someone in our lives who loves us as much as the Super Bowl loved Gloria Estefan in the nineties.
4. Maroon 5 with Travis Scott and Big Boi (Super Bowl LIII, 2019)
The outlier. The only modern halftime show on this list. Of course it has to be the lamest modern halftime show headliner. This was the year when many pop stars (including Rihanna and Cardi B) refused to perform in protest of the blackballing of Colin Kaepernick. Fortunately for the NFL, Adam Levine can always be relied upon to have absolutely no shame or scruples. If you want him to sing “Moves Like Jagger” with his shirt off in front of 120 million people, he will be there as soon as the check clears. (Bonus negative points to Adam for showing off his admittedly impressive guitar skills with some unnecessary hot dog soloing — dude, you’re here to be a himbo, not Joe Satriani.) Curiously in retrospect, Travis Scott seems popular enough to have headlined this himself. Then again, considering the network muted half of “Sicko Mode,” perhaps that would have been inappropriate for the occasion.
3. Blues Brothers Bash with The Blues Brothers, James Brown and ZZ Top (Super Bowl XXXI, 1997)
One of the most interesting parts of the new documentary 50 Years Of SNL Music is about how Lorne Michaels initially resisted John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd going on the show as The Blues Brothers because he didn’t think it was a funny idea. If only the concept had stopped there! Instead, 20 years later, we ended up with the third worst Super Bowl halftime show ever.
The first two halftime shows discussed here, at the very least, have the time capsule factor. They represent their respective eras accurately. (It might not be flattering, but it’s real.) There is no time capsule aspect to Blues Brothers Bash. This was 17 years after the original film. John Belushi had been dead for 15 years. Even the sequel nobody likes, Blues Brothers 2000, was still more than a year away from bombing in theaters. The Blues Brothers were the opposite of relevant in 1997. And yet there was Jim Belushi, screaming “You! You! You!” to a captive worldwide audience.
By the second number “Soul Man,” Jim was already looking winded. So, James Brown jumps in and despite being in the final decade of his life, he injects some life into the proceedings. And then ZZ Top comes out in the Eliminator car from 14 years prior and does the least convincing lip-syncing job in the history of lip-syncing. It’s almost enough to make one long for Jim Belushi huffing and puffing his way through “Gimme Some Lovin.’” (Almost.)
2. “Tapestry Of Nations” with Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, and Toni Braxton (Super Bowl XXXIV, 2000)
The bottom two on this list have some distance from the other three. It’s not a coincidence that both aired on ABC. In this era, the network exploited the halftime show as advertising space for Disney and its theme parks. In 2000, it was used to promote Disney’s two-year “Millennium Celebration,” whatever that was. It sounds like corporate mumbo-jumbo hackery, and that’s exactly what this halftime show feels like. Let’s just say you know you’re in for rough sledding at the Super Bowl halftime show when you hear the words “narrated by Edward James Olmos.” Which is a shame, because there were some solid components here. You have Phil Collins singing in a big stadium with Chester Thompson on drums! It’s obvious that you would ask the man to sing “In The Air Tonight” in this situation. Alas, that didn’t square with the synergistic strategy, so Phil instead belted the love theme from Tarzan. A million boos to you, ABC.
1. Indiana Jones And the Temple Of The Forbidden Eye with Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, and Tony Bennett (Super Bowl XXIX, 1995)
This is the Super Bowl with the largest point spread ever — the San Francisco 49ers were favored by 18.5 points over the San Diego Chargers. And the game was so lopsided that the Niners actually covered by nearly a touchdown. So, the game sucked. But there was no entertainment to be found at halftime, which was another plug-fest for Disney. In this case, it was the Indiana Jones stunt spectacular that was already plugged on ABC’s Friday night staple Full House two years earlier. Not one to only advertise their owner’s theme park ride during the weekly “TGIF” lineup, ABC went back to the well for a halftime show with the least relevant to contemporary pop culture musical lineup ever. No offense to Patti LaBelle or “the incomparable” Tony Bennett, but it’s pretty bizarre by modern standards to imagine that huge Super Bowl audience watch a fake Harrison Ford take punches while an old-school crooner belts out a Duke Ellington number. Which might be why I also have odd affection for this halftime show. It’s so anachronistic and wrong-headed and boring that it becomes kind of thrilling.
The bond between music and anime just got a little tighter with the announcement that Crunchyroll has tapped reggaeton star J Balvin for his vocal qualities — not just as a musician, but as a voice actor in one of the streamer’s hit series. Balvin has been cast as a “key character” in Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise From the Shadow-, which he’ll handle in both English and Spanish.
“I’m beyond thrilled to join the cast of Solo Leveling!” said the “Rio” singer in a press release. “This series has such a passionate fanbase and getting the chance to be part of the anime world, after being a fan for such a long time, is an absolute honor. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on!”
Solo Leveling is an adaptation of a Korean web comic, inspired by dungeon crawling video games. The protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, searches for answers about The System, a mysterious program that increases his powers and skills way beyond what they should be.
The connection was an easy one to make; unbeknownst to some in the US, anime has a long and rich history in Latin America, where some series were translated to Spanish and aired decades before their English counterparts Stateside. There’s a long and fascinating history; you can find out more about it here.
Crunchyroll has been stepping up its efforts to unite anime fans within music with the medium itself; in 2024, it invited Megan Thee Stallion to present at the Anime Awards in Japan and teamed up with Logic for an exclusive merch collection inspired by the classic series Cowboy Bebop. With J Balvin joining the cast of an anime directly, it’ll be fascinating to see how this connection evolves in the future.
For as long as I can remember, basketball fans have been begging for a 1-on-1 tournament featuring the best players in the world. It has been floated for years as the way to make NBA All-Star actually competitive and entertaining, but for a variety of reasons, players have not wanted to get out there on that island.
In its inaugural season, Unrivaled has managed to get 30 of the top women’s players in the world signed up for their 1-on-1 tournament that will take place next week — the first round starts Feb. 10 and the semifinals and finals are on Feb. 14. Players will play make-it-take-it games to 11 (or for 10 minutes of a running clock) by twos and threes with a 7-second shot clock to keep things moving quickly. The tournament, which landed Sprite as its presenting sponsor, will put up a $350,000 prize pool for players, with $200,000 going to the winner, $50,000 to the runner-up, and $25,000 to the other two semifinalists — with the teammates of the winner also receiving $10,000 each.
Fans were able to vote on player seeds, and on Wednesday the league unveiled the full bracket for the inaugural tournament. Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Jewell Loyd, and Arike Ogunbowale earned the 1-seeds — with Loyd and Ogunbowale getting first round byes — with Chelsea Gray, Rhyne Howard, Kayla McBride, and Kahleah Copper getting in on the 2-seed line. The full bracket can be found below and features some very fun first round matchups, with the potential for some tantalizing showdowns later in the tournament as well.
Unrivaled
Stewart draws Aaliyah Edwards as her first round matchup, while Collier will face Katie Lou Samuelson. There are some fascinating guard-big showdowns, with Copper going up against Aliyah Boston and Skylar Diggins-Smith facing Dearica Hamby. Other intriguing matchups from the first round include Tiffany Hayes-Courtney Williams, Jackie Young-Rickea Jackson, and Marina Mabrey-Kate Martin.
The tournament will begin on Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. ET, with TV details still TBD as to whether it will be on TNT or truTV.
“Here With Me” d4vd has been on a steady climb since 2023, when that song and its follow-up, “Romantic Homicide,” first put the young alt singer on his upward trajectory. Since then, he has toured with SZA, headlined his own tour, been tapped to contribute to the buzzy soundtrack of Netflix’s Arcane, and released a steady trickle of new songs, including “My House Is Not A Home,” “There Goes My Baby,” and “Where’d It Go Wrong?” The only thing left to complete his ascension is release a new album — which he’ll do on April 25 with Withered.
In a social media announcement for his upcoming debut album, d4vd wrote: “Thank you all eternally for waiting on me. This album means SO much to me you have no idea the blood sweat and tears that came with trying to create this project over the past 2 years. Constantly starting over and over and over until there was nothing left on this audio landscape of a canvas than thoughts, melodies, and emotions that were unequivocally me.”
He also announced his next single, titled “One More Dance,” is coming this Friday, February 7.
Withered is out on 4/25 via Darkroom / Interscope Records. You can find more info here.
Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.
Since the last update of this weekly R&B column, we’ve received plenty of music and news from the genre’s artists.
The Weeknd announced the After Hours ‘Til Dawn Tour and Frank Ocean began filming his directorial debut with David Jonsson in the starring role. Kehlani explained how Grammy nominations “hasn’t changed anything,” but not in a bad way while Kelela announced a new live album, In The Blue Light.
The Weeknd — Hurry Up Tomorrow
Three years after teasing the project, confirming the existence of a trilogy with After Hours and Dawn FM, The Weeknd returns with Hurry Up Tomorrow. His sixth album presents features from Future, Lana Del Rey, Anitta, Travis Scott, and other, and arrives as an excellently crafted combination of the various eras in his stellar career.
Coco Jones & Leon Thomas — “Here We Go (Uh Oh) [Remix]”
Coco Jones had one of the best R&B songs of 2024 with “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” and she’s ensuring the song lives in 2025 thanks to a new remix with Leon Thomas. The new version of the song features a second verse from Thomas where he plays the role of a pleading lover trying to regain Jones’ love, making for a sweet back and forth between R&B’s brightest stars of the future.
Jessie Reyez — “Goliath”
With her new album on the way, Jessie Reyez checks back in with her new single, “Goliath.” A reflection on self-love, “Goliath” is also another step in the right direction as Reyez readies the release of her upcoming album
Mahalia — “Pressure Points” Feat. Lila Iké
A new Mahalia era may be upon us as the British singer delivers “Pressure Points” with Lila Iké, her first single of the new year. Driven by production that blends R&B and reggae, Mahalia and Lila sing of their desires with love how they want their partners to be intimate with them, but through their own choice to do so.
Jacquees & DeJ Loaf — “Favorite One”
Jacquees and DeJ Loaf are taking things back to 2016 with the upcoming release of their F*ck A Friend Zone II mixtape. With that on the way, the duo deliver “Favorite One,” the second single from the project. The sweet and sultry single dives into the growing feelings between lovers and why they turned out to be better than the rest.
Yung Bleu & Meek Mill — “Friends To Miami”
Continuing his streak of releasing a project every year since 2019, Yung Bleu is readying the release of What Makes Us Human with “Friends To Miami” alongside Meek Mill. Together, Bleu and Meek recall a past lover’s decision to search for their replacement during a girl’s trip to Miami and how they handled the situation.
Journey Montana — Lucky Girl Syndrome
Following up on her Stargirl EP released in 2023, 21-year-old singer Journey Montana arrives with her debut album Lucky Girl Syndrome. Montana releases the project complete with 10 songs and a lone feature from Maliegh Zan for a body of work that she says is “a labor of self-love and self empowerment.” She adds, “Lucky Girl Syndrome is a collection of real stories of womanhood and feelings that I hope everyone can understand and enjoy.”
Qing Madi — I Am The Blueprint
Nigerian singer Qing Madi steps out with her debut album I Am The Blueprint. Complete with 13 songs, the new LP is a strong effort from the 18-year-old that thrives off a combination of afrobeats, alt-R&B, afropop, soul, and more. “With this album I found love with myself,” Madi says of I Am The Blueprint. “I am telling my stories in a place of love and peace.”
Dee Gatti — “Control”
Fort Worth singer Dee Gatti concluded her 2024 by releasing Look What You’ve Done EP, her first project since 2021’s Just Called To Say. Though it might’ve been a long way for her latest project, it hasn’t been a long wait for new music since it’s release as Gatti feeds us with new music thanks to “Control.”
Breez Kennedy — “Talk 2 Me”
For his second record of the year, Breez Kennedy is back with “Talk 2 Me.” The new song takes inspired from 2000s R&B production as Kennedy attempts to sway a new love interest into arms. “Talk 2 Me” follows “Love Language” which he released in mid-January.
Iyla — “Overboard”
Iyla makes a grand return in 2025 in the form of her hypnotic new single, “Overboard.” The LA singer follows “Strut” with a spicy record that shares the yearning desire she and a partner share for each other. “’Overboard’ is a soulful vocal rollercoaster that exudes sexiness and confidence that splashes you in the face,” Iyla said about the song in a press release.
Kadeem Tyrell — “One Time”
London singer Kadeem Tyrell gets to work with his new single “One Time,” which pays homage to Ginuwine’s “Pony.” The new record is seductive, playful, and cheeky — qualities that R&B fans will surely come to appreciate from Tyrell’s new song.
The official release of From The Private Collection Of Saba And No ID is edging closer, and the latest sign of life is their celebratory new single, “Woes Of The World.” In his chest-beating bars, Saba acknowledges that life is hard, but declares his intention to rise above any adversity, rapping, “But who is the GOAT? I wanna go toe-to-toe with her / Well, it’s ’cause I just know I ain’t second to no n****s / I said enough, guess up next is to show.”
The long road to the Chicago natives’ joint album started way back in 2023, with the release of “Back In Office,” which they followed in relatively short order with “Hue_Man Nature.” However, it was some time before we next heard from the duo; their next single, “Head.Rap,” didn’t drop until a year after “Back In Office.” Its follow-up, “How To Impress God,” showed up six months later, in October.
If it seems like it has been a bumpy road to release, at least you know Saba and No ID remain committed to cooking up a classic. As an independent artist, Saba has more control over his release schedule, which means more time to tweak the tracks to his heart’s content. However, the Windy City rapper and producer assure us, their private collection won’t remain so for too much longer.
From The Private Collection Of Saba And No ID is out soon via ARTium Recordings/Pivot Gang Records, LLC.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been in rumors for weeks regarding trade packages that would see them part ways with former All-Star forward Khris Middleton. They were reportedly in the mix for Jimmy Butler, but as deadline week arrived, buzz had shifted to a different target in Washington: Kyle Kuzma.
On Wednesday morning, the Bucks made that move a reality, sending Middleton to the Wizards to bring Kuzma back to Milwaukee in a deal that gets them a bit younger but also dips them below the punitive second apron. The full deal, as reported by Shams Charania and Chris Haynes, is below.
Bucks get: Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr., 2025 second round pick Wizards get: Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, 2028 first round pick swap rights
It seems pretty clear that the Bucks did not have much faith that Middleton, who has been limited with knee injuries over the past few years, would get back to the level that made him such a crucial piece of the Bucks 2021 championship squad. This season, he was averaging just 12.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game, but was doing so on strong efficiency (51.2/40.7/84.8 splits). Now they bring in Kuzma, who like Middleton has one more year on his deal but will be owed more than $10 million less, and will hope being on a contender can get him going.
Kuzma is having the worst season of his career in Washington, averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game on the hapless Wizards, with some truly horrific shooting splits (42.0/28.1/60.2, all career-worsts). Kuzma has been frustrated with the situation in Washington this season — a year after turning down an opportunity to get traded to Dallas — and now gets to join the Bucks to play between Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee will be banking on being on a contender lighting a fire under Kuzma that gets him back to being a helpful player.
Now that they are under the second apron, the Bucks can make more moves if they’d like without as much difficulty, and figure to remain a team to watch through the deadline. The Wizards, meanwhile, manage to still get a future pick-swap and only take on big money for one more year with Middleton’s player option despite selling as low as possible on Kuzma.
