Rocketman is the new movie starring Taron Egerton as Elton John, and I couldn't be more excited to see it! Elton John is one of my all-time favorite artists and songwriters, and so it was a lot of fun to put this "Rocketman" cover together. Things definitely got weird out in Joshua Tree while filming this, but I hope this video makes you laugh as much as I've been laughing at myself! FUN FACT: I actually sang back-up for Taron Egerton on the SING movie when he performed Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" as the singing gorilla, Johnny! Crazy ironic that he actually played Elton a few years later! Listen to "Rocketman" on your favorite music platform!

I'm a big Andy Grammer fan... I love the fun, infectious positivity of his songs like "Honey, I'm Good" and "Keep Your Head Up." When I came across these two powerful tracks ("85" and "Workin On It") from The Good Parts album, I couldn't help but combine them. Lyrically, they support each other wonderfully: "85" cautions against getting too entangled in our own selfish ambitions, but "Workin On It" is a graceful reminder to celebrate the small steps we take to break free of all that. Greg Karas is one of my good buddies from college. And he just so happens to be Andy's guitar player! It was an obvious choice to try and bring him in for this project, and I'm so glad it worked out. He is an absolute beast of a musician, knocking all these tracks out in a matter of a few hours while we recorded on the go. Huge thanks to Gibson for allowing us to film at the Gibson Show Room in Beverly Hills. We had pretty much any guitar we could choose from to lay things down, and I'm so happy with the cool, intimate ambience we got with the small studio set-up.

I stumbled upon this song by Billie Eilish and Khalid a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it! If you haven't seen the original "lovely" music video, definitely check it out. It's beautiful and cinematic - just like the song. Makes total sense why this track fit nicely in the new 13 Reasons Why Season 2 soundtrack... I was already talking to my friend, Grace Elizondo, about collaborating and this song seemed like the perfect cover for us to do! Grace is an amazingly talented singer and songwriter who is heading out to Nashville to further pursue her career. Be sure to follow her - she is a true talent!

As promised, here's another Charlie Puth cover from the Voicenotes album which dropped today! When I saw that he had collaborated with James Taylor for "Change" I had to do a double take.

Isn't love, all that we got? Don't we know everyone's Got a father and mother? The day we know we're all the same Together we can make that change Look around, there are too many of us crying And not enough love to go around What a waste, another day Another good one dying But I know that the world will change The day we know we're all the same Why can’t we just get along? If loving one another's wrong Then how are we supposed to Get close to each other? We gotta make that change, yeah Why can’t we just get along? What a waste it would be to deny somebody Of a chance to be theirselves What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothing? But I know that the world can change The day we know we're all the same Why can’t we just get along? If loving one another's wrong Then how are we supposed to Get close to each other? We gotta make that change, yeah I know we could break apart We don’t have to go that way Not today Why can’t we just get along? If loving one another's wrong Then how are we supposed to Get close to each other Why can’t we just get along? If loving one another's wrong Then how are we supposed to Get close to each other? We gotta make that change, yeah That change, yeah
